Topic: Anyone know how to use an E-Bow?

Greetings,

     I recently watched a video on Youtube of Wes Borland (of Limp Bizkit fame) creating a song using a Boss rc-50 looper, a violin bow and an "E-Bow".

It's an amazing thing to watch and I've linked you to a sample of the song for you to hear.
It's here:  wes borland - penang clinic.mp3 - 7.10MB

I found out by reading in the comments that he uses an "E-bow" in one part of the song.
What I wanted to know is, does anyone have any experience with one of these things?
I may try to pick one up for the fun of it if I can find one cheap on ebay.

Stuart Adamson of The Skids and Big Country used one a lot. Terrific sound from it.

I think its kinda like an electronic slide and you just run it up and down the board while your playing.
