They are already appearing - one advertiser in our magazine sells
those mini PC's which are about the size of a stack of four CD's (in

Give us the details! I've been looking at the stuff from
http://www.quietpc.com - including silent power supplies.
As for self-destructing Michael Jackson tracks, I don't think it's a
problem unless it, or similar technologies, spreads to tracks by
artists that we want to listen to. That could happen.
