   Awwww .... OUGHT to be an interesting topic, especially
   as we're bumping up against Moore's end-point. One or
   two more gens and we're literally at the atomic scale ;
   where to go from there ?

   Better innovate SOMETHING, otherwise we're gonna see
   'peak computing' when it's become clear we need thousands
   of times that for the Really Cool Stuff.
