I like the discussion of where we are headed in terms of PC's in the home 40-50 years from now, but am disturbed that so few have the foresight to see other application for IC's. As an example, there is currently a 11 mile stretch of highway in CA which is wired underground with sensors so that cars with computer equipment can literally drive themselves. This means lane changing, exiting the highway etc. I am not sure of the IC content each car will require but have to assume it will at least equal that of the average $2000 PC. We are entering the first digital millenium with many(most) applications yet undiscovered. The PC merely whets our appetite for more things digital. BK
