the environment to take full advantage of what is coming. There has been much talk on the board about VCSEL and there applications in the last month or so. Thyristors seem to have dropped entirely off the map. At one time memristors were discussed and thought of as low hanging fruit. Perhaps I can knudge the direction of the conversation towards the integration of the SOC and where they will be heading. As was aluded to in a previous news release there will be a "blended" integration of POET into the mainstream. This will take time. That time is very organic in its nature as an entire silicon universe needs to be altered. The beauty of Dr. Taylor's work is the compatibility with current CMOS formats. That does not mean that one can take a current gen cpu off a motherboard and slap in a POET chip. There will be some modifications to current designs to enable the use of the POET chips. No question. This however, is an interim step. The end-game, so to speak, is when an entire environment is designed and built to take full advantage of POET and squeeze every last bit of efficiency out of them by giving this race car the right track to drive on. Those with far greater technical knowledge then I, could speak to this in a much more definitive way. Hence PCs comment that PTK would rather have 30-40 engineers rather than cash up front to further develop things, makes perfect sense. Imagine what the future POET-centric boards will look like and how they will function. Am I wrong believing that near-wireless boards will utilize onboard lasers to transmit data at ludicrous speeds so efficiently that no fans will be required at all. Just a few slits for air to drift over the board for adequate cooling. it would seem as though a near-supercomputer-capability will eventually be created on a board no bigger than the phone I'm typing this on and that will be the desktop model. Star Trek here we come. Derekwpg
