TBG-HMR, I am now an international expert on silicon nitride carbide hydride actinide suicide halide production of coherent blue polarized photons for data manipulation. I read all through the Cree thread, studiously avoiding the Alta Vista references you gave.

My opinion is: Gee!!!!!! There sure is something going on there. But it isn't a GOOF on any measure. But rules should be flexible enough to allow money making anyway. They are in a very competitive business and xray photons seem likely to join the data race after not too many years.

It seems to me that this whole concept of extracting information in a linear way, like an old 78 LP [apologies to the younger readers], is faintly archaic. Even if the grooves are really close together and the disc is really ripping around and the data is in morse code form rather than waves.

If I say "wolf" and then "door", I dare say your brain, given certain cultural training, is able to instantly conjure up a fleet of images, multi gigabytes big, in rapid moving 3D, especially if you are asleep so you don't have any choice about what happens next. Some of you might prefer softer, warmer, more pleasant images than wolves and doors.

Now try that with a floppy disk, or CD ROM even if it has seen the blue light.

How about a 3D chunk of some stuff, with hundreds of wires on each face, with information entered and retrieved by changing the inputs at each wire. The internal atomic scale switches would then represent the external information that was put in. To see what is stored, give it a stimulation and see what the inside looks like.

That is what I'd love to invest in next. Does anyone know where the whizkids who are doing that are hiding? I want to throw money at them, [somebody else's as I don't actually have any of my own left].

So at this stage, with Blue Lasers and SiC, all I can say is: Ummmmm! Don't know. I hope that's really helpful.
