@gloriouscow Little (french) me found that name sounded so cool, so serious, I was literally dreaming about the gizmo.

Probably one of those little things that got me interested in technology, in hindsight. I probably wouldn't have fantasized that much about a boring "light pen" 😜

@tipiak75 I can imagine where a child's imagination might go with that. It reminds me of this book

@gloriouscow Tbh I'm rather sad the last time I ever saw and used one of those was back in the day. I never got to explore the full potential of these.

Reading your adventures makes up for that a little somehow.
