[Health] $30 microscope

[Cherry Withers]

Mike,

I just ordered mine from Amazon. But we were discussing this on our
Squeakland meeting today
and wondering if you've tried this on the XO 1.0 as well and if you've tried
other brands?
The Digimicro is hovering around $37-$45 at Amazon (without shipping and
tax). Where have you found
them for $30?

Thank you for your help!
