Quantum
Both your name, and you post remind me of a few things. What mainly comes to mind is, if my memory serves me correctly, there was mention of quantum computing quite a ways in the distant past.
Hub leaders could probably remember where it was mentioned, i want to say that it was hinted at in a news release, or a patent. Im from Vancouver and enjoy a little MaryJ so...lol. Like you say that alone, being as its so far ahead of what anyone elses' capabilites are, in its self has always allowed my hippie imagination to flourish into the possbilities.
Imagine, in regards to quantum computing, if poet could enter into that realm of things you would not be penetrating and existing market, you would be defining the limitiations of it. Opening up the world to an entirely different platform with monolthlic abilities. Its stuff like that Quantum where i think start trek!! this then would then allow countless others to leap frog off that base that poet would initialize. Something i dont think either pelligrino touched on. This all obviously hinges upon what poet we hinting at when they first mentioned they might be headed in that direction.
Id greatly appreciate someone to pipe in here on where quantum computing was first mention. I really prefer to dreaming based on facts... ;)
