Absolutely. Dell has excellent people working for him. Everything I see reinforces my (warped? ;-) belief in the future. Not only that Dell will outperform, but that we'll get to nanotechnology. Too many people are financially involved for it not to happen. Intel or IBM may be one of the ones to get there first, or at least to use technology coming out of Zyvex zyvex.com first. The smaller/closer we can make the connections, the faster the chip will be. See foresight.org (chapter 5 of Engines of Creation) and search (using Ctrl+F -- i.e., search on that page only) for "Accelerating the Technology Race". The seventh paragraph in that section ends with "It seems that a structure similar to the brain will fit in less than a cubic centimeter (as discussed in the Notes). Shorter signal paths will then join with faster transmission to yield a device over ten million times faster than a human brain." A cubic centimeter. Sugar-cube sized. How many sugar cubes could you fit in the space inside your skull? Or even, distributed throughout your body, so there's no one point of weakness? Cheers, KenB
