I originally had a 52mW pointer, and absolutely loved it,,, till it died
Probably due to me using it for long periods of time with my scanner setup,
even though I had a fan on it, they just arent ment for long term use,
and I dont think they are very reliable.
Now, I have a 100mW 532nm ThermoElectric Cooled table top, plug in module on the way.
MUCH more reliable, and will be better suited for the scanner setup.
I would like to find another nice pointer though, I do miss it,
and it was cool to actually be able to hold it in your hand, and take it anywhere.
Maybe if I dont use it for long periods like I did before, it will be more reliable.
