arrived on/before promised date. used as a cat toy, she loves it. only thing is that there is no on/off switch. you have to keep pressing down on it if you want it to stay on. other than that, small compact and I am not sorry I ordered it. 5/2/08: one more thing to add-battery runs out quickly (1st time within 2 weeks and when I went to Radio Shack to replace them (3 of them) it was the one battery they didn't stock. so I bought a $10 toy that turned out to have the same battery-if I had bough the batteries indiv. it would of cost me $12+. However, again those batteries expired with in a month. I suggest getting a laser pointer with a common battery.
