[HEXUS]

We might not have the 1.21 jigawatts required to run it, but we've got our hands on a Flux Capacitor.

All you need now is a De Lorean and a food processor

[DR]

They are on back order....


What else do you expect us to do with our time? .... surely an investment in being able to travel back to the future is worthy of a little bit of HEXUS time.. ?

[Lee H]

They are on back order....

Well it must not work well if they're on back order

If they worked, they'd go into the future where production of these was ramped up, aquire a load to fill up the car and then travel back to sell them

[SiM]

This is junk... Don't get me wrong, I love the films... but this is just a crazy money making scheme...

[pollaxe]

Please, if you do get it working go back to about 1991 and slap me.

[Fraz]

You could have given that 99 quid to me.

"gigawatt", pronounced badly

in answer to the question.

and it's a lot. our supercomputing facilty has one megawatt (i.e. 0.001 GW) at its disposal.

Does it do anything, I mean anything at all?

The lights flash...

[Funkstar]

The lights flash...

That'll be a no then.

[DR]

What did you all expect it to do? Actually do time travel? :sigh:

[Funkstar]

Well quite frankly, yes

joking, obviously

Some type of USB connection to it would have been good. Everyone know USB gadgets are cool

Does it not even make any sounds?

[Lee H]

This one flashes

I do think £100 for a box with some flashing LEDs inside is pushing the limits as far as ripping off fans goes!

For £90 I expected it to do something more than look pretty-ish. Beep or something.
