Laser amp feed regulator was malfunctioning so I replaced it. Was nice for
reflection but would have been more like defending yourself with a flashlight.

Now that I see it - yes, I have heard of "Meccano" before. I actually owned one
same though - my father had owned at least one set he was young, but he also
must have owned an "incompatible" one. Looking back, I guess those used an
inch-based system while the "Metallbaukasten" used a metric one.

I was born in '37 so I'm also a grumbling old man (more of a curmudgeon
actually). ;-) So my childhood was also pre-plastics. My equivalent
nostalgia is for (all metal) Erector Sets.

I have a strange feeling that that name would be considered somewhat
weird and/or unsuitable for children's set.

Heck, *I* remember Meccano. OTOH not because they would've been popular
or something when I was a child - more because me and my brother found
our fathers old Meccano-sets when we were kids (they still were a great
fun, though).

Cartoons from that era too were very politically incorrect and violent to
today's high standards of weenieness.
But I'm really surprised any time I see povray newsgroups lurkers, specially
this age. I thought povray was just a geek's hobby. Well, not like as you age
your geekiness will abandon you... :P
