@90130, Dude, you just KNOW that someone will jack it up and put a thumpin' nano-bass system in it...

Tiw: From what I read, they are a long way off from building nano-flying machines... but these days, a "long way" could be just two years. I recall reading some paranoia fantasies in the early days of nanotech when Eric Drexler was still considered top of the field... he was saying that nano development should be done openly, otherwise creepy shit will be developed for military outfits. One particular fantasy supposed a 'cloud' of nano-flying machines that would move in an infect an enemy camp... entering their blood-stream and killing them weirdly... freaky thoughts. I still think we're a long ways off from that.... so like 2008 or so.
