I know you are an audiophile ab; I used to have the old cassette tapes, and using the empty cases arranged on a book shelf, you can arrange these to refract the red laser into interesting spectrals. The boy still lives.

if you still have your flat black friends [IOW records] that maybe you have soured on, you can take a 1 watt laser and burn holes through 'em and make 'em into a kind of sieve, maybe- if you're really bored one day. only works on black or very dark things, the light things just reflect the laser beam backwards.
or you could take those clear round covers on the stops of stacks of blank CDRs, and shine a laser through those things, i imagine shining the beam straight onto the edges of those things would make interesting refraction effects maybe.p.s.- who out there in WPland is the icecream-loving laser non-enthusiast?
1 watt - Interesting. Epcot in Disney (FLA) has the green lasers. I wonder what's the wattage? Someone commented they were carbon dioxide lasers.

so it would seem that the cheaper lasers are deliberately throttled-down?
