Not to worry, Dan; the necessary computer power will be available as an
implant, installed at or shortly after birth, as a parent-selectable
"upgrade"... All prior human knowledge will be available as a direct

I forgot something in 7)

SBIG will have a 400mm square camera, with 10^ gawd-knows-how-many elements
that will require a separate computer.  You will need a computer to control

Cray ever produced will be available at the Stuffmart checkout on a key
ring!!!   And THAT may be a reality!!!
