  2. The idea of a 3-D computer blows my mind, but what an incredible story in saving the baby's life.

    Science fiction gets less fiction-y ever day.

  4. Cube - An amazing story. If it works then I say use it.

    And no - I don't know anything about the replicator you mentioned.

    Ignorance is bliss - so they say.

  7. Granny Annie: I tend to agree.

    Sue Hanes: In the original Star Trek series back in 1966, they had replicators which, at the push of a button, made any food you wanted. This is that technology in its infancy.

  9. Sue Hanes: When they start selling them on TV infomercials and they'll sell me two of them for $19.99, I'll give you the extra one ;-)
