Laser Light Shows

   Note from Dean's World pal Jerry Kindall:

   "Once upon a time lasers were expensive and if you wanted a laser
   show, you had to be a big-name group and the lasers went with you on
   tour, with their own dedicated personnel."

   [EMBED]

   "Now you can just blow up a weather balloon and give everyone in the
   crowd a laser pointer and let them be your laser light show."

   Yep, that probably cost a few hundred bucks at most. Certainly, it
   lacks the sophistication of what expensive shows do these days, but
   it's actually far more sophisticated than would have been possible
   with a million dollars worth of equipment in, say, 1980.
