They're using (small) bulk technology rather than nanotech. I was thinking more of the machines that Drexler describes in "Engines of Creation" (available from the Foresight Institute website at <URL:http://www.foresight.org/EOC/index.html> - its been around for some years but its still a good read if you've not touched on nanotech ideas before). On nanotech scales doing RF will be an "interesting" problem. :-) Tatty bye, Jim'll -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org please, Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/false domain
