Microscope HELL - I wanna Chemestry set so i can blow up the neighborhood !! Remember those things from back in the 60's ?? with today's Chemestry sets, you are lucky if you can bake a cookie or light a match....... ALL of the cool (read:deadly) chemicals are either not included or so impotent that it isn't fun anymore....

Jim, Yeah, saw the writeup in WSJ on the products. If I read it right, the article said a 100X or 350X microscope, but I find that hard to imagine in a $99 product and the connectivity to the computer. Light source becomes a serious problem at those magnifications. I can see alot of Dad's seeing that and saying "What a great toy." I got a microscope when I was younger and it was on of the coolest things I can remember. Still have it. It's a different world down there. I bought some Champion CHB today. I'd been trying to wait for general market weakness but I've seen so many interesting opportunities run away from me I figured I'd play. I was wanting to get in at $20, but $22 will do. I think fair value here is around $30. Not quite the quick 50% upside potential I like to see, but it will do. Shane
