What I'd print
Stopped by Microsoft store at Bellevue square to check out a very cool gadget called the Makerbot Replicator 2 3D desktop printer. This unit costs $2199 with a roll a plastic thread for printing going for $48 a roll. I has blown away by the examples of the prints it makes. It works silently, rolling the plastic line onto a little platform. Its going to be exciting following this. I mentioned to a group of people checking out the machine that in a couple years, it would be on sale at costco, $200 a unit. Thats the truth about technology. Moves so quickly. Im counting on it. At this time I can't buy a Tesla, maybe it will get cheaper, or maybe I'll print it one day !
