Intel makes a microscope? This would be a very cool toy to have! I think I'll have to get one.

I can't resist:
When is AMD releasing their version (which will be faster and cheaper)?

I recently saw them at Sam's Club bundled with someother similar product ( I am sorry I can't remember) for about that price. These are interesting but not for $ 69.00 .

I bought mine when they first came out at compusa on sale for $59 and they had a $30 rebate. I think the kids have used twice since then.

Does anyone know if it is possible to view microfiche cards with one of these?

Bought mine for approx. $20 last year @ WalMart.

Kids have also only used it twice.

Pretty crappy resolution.

The optical quality is not very good even for a toy. Kids wont have fun looking at dark unfocused images.

I have one of these and they're great for checking solder connections (hear that, you multiplier-unlockers?) and reading the tiny print on components. For example, I needed to check some RAM to see if it was 50ns or 60ns and couldn't really make out the numbers. Popped it under the scope, and the "50ns" practically filled the screen!

Kind of a novelty, but comes in handy from time to time.

ChurchofSubGenius,

I got in on the same deal (both the 'scope and the morpher for $29) -- the morpher was shipped separately and arrived about 3 days after the 'scope.

sound morpher was while supplies last, and if you used the 10% off its not valid with the free morpher.

still waiting on my scope, looks like it'd be atleast a little bit of fun for only $30

I ordered the microscope and the video creator with 2 free sound morphs and free shipping. The microscope is on the way now as is one sound morpher. I just got an email today and intel said the video creator and the other morpher are backordered and will ship when they arrive. So you can get the free morpher and free shipping.

And I thought I was going to have trouble unloading these on ebay for $30 (I paid $30) Ha! Ha! theres
someone right here in the hot deals forum that thinks $69 is a good deal.
