    I saw the 3D printer thing on an episode of the Colbert Report. Personally I can't ever imagine spending that much money for something like that, but I'm an old fuddy duddy who only collects one thing and chooses to buy them the old fashioned way in their original floppy format.


I think they were getting down into the $600-800 range, which is still too high for me, but I'm still sorely tempted just because I'd love to play with one and see what I could do with it as a artistic medium.

However, I do believe we'll all have 'em in 10 years time or so... They don't really seem to require super-expensive components, and so it's just a matter of getting them to the point of mass production.
