The Makerbot Digitizer Is Nearly Magic

When I was a kid I was amazed by advances technology. I went to a friend’s house when I was in fifth grade and his father had a PC - an IBM PC, I believe - with a built in hard drive. We loaded King’s Quest and Colossal Cavern in seconds and he even had a menu of apps that you could select by tapping a key. As a kid who grew up with tapes and later floppy disks, this was close to magic.
