PS I just acquired 10000, shares each of Staples and GBC. That means

emailed me, just the other day, who is using a personal computer to
monitor and control both the temperature and the speed of a modified
laser fuser assembly. I think he said that by using a very low speed,
he can laminate patterns onto pcboards with just one pass through
the fuser rollers.
