My god, I've started a firestorm!

I work on a large helpdesk with about 100 agents. I brought my bit into work today and was tinkering with it. At lunch a co-worker went and bought the last 2 ZZ's at the local radio shack and about 10 other guys are trolling eBay as I type this! This was probably the worst place to bring one. Being surrounded by a bunch of tech support geeks who go crazy over the slightest gizmo is like giving a wino keys to a liquor store!

I kinda know the feeling. I've gotten a few friends hooked on these things just by telling them about them.

Talking

No kidding! I read the post on slashdot about the ExtremeTech review last Wednesday and have since spent over $100 on 2 cars and accessories. All are still in transit, but thanks to this board and others, I feel like I've already got them.

Slashdot Rules

Yep- I was scoping the zipzaps-n thinkgeeks.coms dig Q cars when I saw the slashdot article n the shoot out on ExtremeTech
That article lead me here-n now I am a bit-o-tick too!
Radd that so many slashdotters n puter junkies dig this stuff-the mods will be insane.
