If Jeri Ellsworth can do this now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdcKwOo7dmM&feature=fvwrel then *someone* in the maker movement is going to figure out that they need to be able to fabricate their own silicon to really have an open-source 3D printer, and maybe in 10 years I can buy something that will let me fabricate an 8-bit cpu for a few hundred dollars, and after 3 years of hacking I might be able to make an OGP1 design ;) You can start building one of these, you know ;) http://www.dansworkshop.com/2008/03/homebuilt-electric-melting-furnace-2/ If you help me out, we might be able to fabricate 5 year old technology ourselves in 5 years instead of 12 ;) _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
