Q: The Device is absolutely beautiful. I want one. What is it?

A: That reaction alone is most of the point of The Device. Additionally, aside from being a beautiful and inscrutable showpiece, the device has a real function.

Q: Oh?

A: Yes. When you plug The Device into your PC, it comes to life. The dials move, the Ethereal Glowing Tube glows at various intensities, the red light on top turns on and off. All of these features can be configured to display anything from stock quotes to the health of your Sims or the status of your Ebay auction.

Q: What do you mean by "configured to display," exactly?

A: A picture is worth a thousand words. Here is a screenshot of the control software for an example of how it all works. The configuration screen shows dial #1 being set to monitor stock prices over the web.

Q: But nothing else I have plugged into my computer looks like this? Are there any electrodes to attach to my temples or something?

A: Please refer to the first question. The Device 's foremost purpose is to give you the satisfaction of owning a beautiful, handcrafted piece of invented history. If Nikola Tesla were alive today, he would most likely be our first customer. As for electrodes...we'll look into it.

Q: The Ethereal Glowing Tube (EGT) looks like it might be radioactive or something. Is it?

A: No, it's not radioactive!

Q: How integral a role can the Device play in my secret plans to take over the world?

A: The Device can be used for good or evil. Please only use the Device for good.

Q: If Albert Einstein was alive today, do you think he would own The Device?

Q: If Adolf Hitler was alive today, do you think he would own The Device?
