PM on the way. How much for the orange HeNe?

[kecked]

how much for that 24lbs of Plutonium in your basement and the 400 feet of det cord. Maybe that old cray you have down there running nuke simulations or that 1 TEV x-ray laser you have trained on Canada.

or that 1 TEV x-ray laser you have trained on Canada.

You mean the one that is pumped by the gamma emissions of his basement fission reactor?

(Actually, there was a design for a fission-pumped, super-radiant, X-ray laser weapon system once upon a time, back when the idea of detonating nuclear weapons in space as part of SDI was considered a practical approach.)

I'd love to have an old Cray just for nostalgia's sake though. (True, you can get more power in a desktop these days, but something about that lovely stack with the fluorinert cooling tubes just speaks to me.) They actually have a couple parts from one of the original Cray-1's on display at the National Cryptology Museum just outside NSA headquarters, and when I visited there I honestly didn't want to leave. So many cool toys to look at!
