If you need to ask the question 'whats so good about a laser' - you won't understand the answer.

I was going to suggest www.laser-wave.co.ukAlthough my last mirror came from a place called UQG optics, who are just up the road from me. They make optics for the Cambridge University laser labs and are *really* high quality.
By the way, on another subject: Microsoft yet again have completely ruined my night... Just got the laser warmed up and bloody Windows crashed... It crashed so badly that not even my restore CD's seem to work, so I have lost a load of data that I created today and now have no way of running the laser... So thankyou very much Microsoft...

if you get a hard drive to USB lead (IDE or SATA, whatever fits your hard drive!) then you can grab your data off there and onto another computer. ive got one and its one of the best bits of kit ive ever bought, very handyOriginally Posted by Insanity

What version of Windows are you running?
Senior Member
It's running Windows Vista. The hard drive Toshiba installed in the laptop 3 months ago was a dud, full of bad sectors. All fixed now with a nice 320Gig Seagate drive... I'm still running imaging and recovery software on the old disk just to try and get back a few files that I lost...
I could put XP Pro on it, but half the drivers I need are not available for XP, as it is a relatively new machine. But Windows 7 is just round the corner and hopefully it won't use its swap files to destroy disks like Vista does.
So, tonights the night when I finally treat myself to a nice lasershow
