Hi, 'Fergie' on ZDNet around 5 years ago right? We spoke a couple times.

'Si02' :-)

Howdy! Thanks for the follow, but seriously your work here is amazing.

Thank you! It's a nice resource that you are building up on optical drives. It is crazy how cheap these nicely engineered optical/mechanical/electronic systems are. $10k to set one up on an optical table using individually purchased components?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Eric Hertz wrote 12/20/2015 at 21:27 • point

Hah, right? And your use of 3D-printing *as* an optical-table sure brings that cost down quite a bit! Just remember to set it on a tile-floor ;)

  Are you sure? yes | no
