yep. but the best verdict on optical computing that i've heard is that
it will be like supersonic flight: ie. it works, we know how to do it,
but it will cost so much that only the very rich and the military will
use it. the rest of us get by pretty well with subsonic flight. the
person who made this comment also pointed out that today's passenger
aircraft actually fly a little *slower* than those that were around
before the sound barrier was broken ...
