John, about "3. Quantum dilemma - They say that by 2010, features should be .07 microns, and
that at that size electrons arn't predictable"

Naah, microprocessors will continue to get more dense and powerful until the RAM cell becomes a single electron. Then, the whole thing will reverse until we're all the way back to the abacus.

Sorry, gloomy day here in Sunnyvale, needed a yock.

On the subject, how does anyone know what will happen at 0.07 micron gate lengths until the industry gets close to it? Like saying the weather looks bad in San Francisco as viewed from Alaska. Well. why not wait until we get at least to southern Oregon?
