研究用機器の治具や生体モデル出力に便利なので、時流に乗って入手した。 スライス用の専用のソフトの性能が比較的良く、込み入ったモデルでなければ比較的容易にきれいな出力を得ることが出来る。 デュアルヘッドなので、複数の色での出力が可能である。
出力量に応じて少しずつヘッドがへたってくるので、本体からばらして交換する必要がある。始めに冷却用ダクトを外してからヘッド全体を本体から外し、 トップからケーブルを外し、次に冷却用ファンを外してヘッドに辿り着く。茶色のカプトンテープに包まれたヘッドをスパナ等でゆっくり回転させて外し、さらに真鍮製のヘッドを回して外し、新品と交換する。 一度慣れると手順は理解出来るが、比較的込みっている。
Ally McBeal as a Software House:
Richard Fish - the methodology gury, usually does not actually write code. But
he does stress doing things the right way (not in PHB sense, but in hacker
sense).
Ally McBeal - the brilliant female hacker. Her code is mixture of brilliancy -
both in getting the job done, and in the quality of bugs which go into it.
"Biscuit" - would be the type who does not think twice of embedding a string
representing a Scheme script into an assembly language device driver, and
invoking Guile from it.
Other participants - left as homework.

I have much more books than I can put on my night-stand. Books that are on my
night-stand are quickly accessible (when I'm in bed, that is), and books on
the shelf are not (I hate getting up from the cozy, warm, bed). So, when I
suddenly feel like reading a book that is not on the night- stand, I have no
choice but to go to sleep. In the morning, I wake up and always find the book
I wanted next to the bed! As it turns out, when I was asleep, another process,
known as "sleepwalkd" got me the book I wanted. Also, when my nightstand
already has too many books on it, The sleepwalk process moves one of the books
- the one I'm least likely to want to read next - back to the shelf.
Last month, four Europeans with weird names decided to mess around with my
book-reading system. One called Alan decided that in some cases I should move
*all* my books to the shelf, go to bed without any books the same night, and
instead fill the nightstand with crap. And if somehow all my shelves are full
I should just burn one at random (if it burns the whole shelf, or the wrong
shelf, who cares).
Another one, called Andrea, decided that I should redesign my whole
sleepwalking routine according to his master-plan. However, this made my
sleepwalking become so strange, that people were hesitant to call me "stable"
any more. Alan thought my new sleepwalking was a sure sign of be not being
stable.
But then a third European, Linus, finally made a judgment-call, and decided
that I was stable, even with Andrea's new sleepwalking routine. He then told
yet another European, Marcello, that from now he's resposible for keeping me
stable. I thought it was my shrink's resposibility, but Marcello said no, that
now that he finally has some responsibility he's not going to just give it up.
