Of course, I know Kevin isn't talking about a microrobot, it's just something his suggestion brought to mind.
More generally, I often think about applications of computers to medicine (for example, I just picked up a book on neural prostheses), but I'm not an M.D., and so while I might know something about the technology required, I know a lot less about what is reall needed. for example, the application Kevin mentions here is not one that would have occured to me. Is there a place for Hardhats (or even open source) in the wider field of compurters in medicine? --- Greg Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not if I'm the alpha site! :-) > > Actually, this is an idea I haven't heard, but why not?
