"bot" whose name cannot be spoken!

I'm in Boston, so I visited the new Makerbot store for the heck of it. It was actually interesting. The printers are nice(although overpriced IMO) What was more fascinating for me was listening to peoples reactions and questions. I think there is still quite a bit of education to be done before "consumers" understand what we're doing. Interestingly the question I eavesdropped the most-"How long did this take to print?"

I can't believe it, I just cannot believe it, one of my favorite posters walked into a closed source small print area poor support record and actually looked at printers that start around
2100 and go up from there. Forgive me, I can't write anymore, I need to go off into a corner and cry.

Eagle...I promise I didn't stay long enough to be contaminated

Just needed to take a peek behind enemy lines

Okay, my cry is over and I feel better now. I hope you shook the dust off your shoes when you walked out. I don't consider them enemies because that
raises their status. To me they do not exist and are only a segment of a dirty neuron in my brain.

He needs to burn his clothing too. It's the only way to get the stench out.
