Tim, Well, stave off/continue past the point where feature sizes get so small that leakage forms the density endpoint. The multistate cells of the ovonics methods will allow an increase in density which is tantamout to bypassing Moore's law. The labs and researchers(Bass, et al) now complain that we have reached the Moore's limits at the research level and those limits as they are implemented in production around 2005-7 might be the first true wall we have hit in a long while. Games now being played with Ovshinsky memory cells and their application to other logical devices are of great interest to me as well, even though it may not carry over, some good may come off some tangential work. Yes, I recall Ovshinsky and his amorphous solar cells, well, they work, just low efficiency and cheap which gets them lots of work. Ovshinsky is one of our latter day Inventors on the line of Edison and Tesla who shoot many blanks, but come up with a few great things. Bill
