08:56 AM aandrew: heh perhaps just some rando ali vendor signed up to amazon too
08:56 AM aandrew: or just crafty people wanting to go for a techie angle and hot glue googly eyes to it or something
08:56 AM aandrew: "yeah that's a real silicon wafer!"
11:49 AM polprog: aandrew: oh god sorry. That is so cool tho
11:49 AM polprog: !!
11:49 AM polprog: rue_mohr: oh. All the best to him nonetheless!

11:51 AM polprog: er
11:51 AM polprog: not at home
11:51 AM polprog: saw some kit for growing semiconductor crystals
11:51 AM polprog: 3 machines
11:51 AM polprog: cool stuff
11:51 AM polprog: i might get a job there at some point
11:54 AM WormFood: If you wanted wafers for their geekness, and not for use, then you can get etched wafers on ebay. There is one I found, for cheap, that I really want to get. You can even get sets of them. I saw this stuff a few months ago, but I'm sure that type of thing is available all the time.
11:59 AM WormFood: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254548438814 <-- what hardcore electronics geek wouldn't want this?
12:01 PM polprog: I need a pure Si one to test thist puppy
12:01 PM polprog: this*
