Kaplanesque is my wife, the attorney, although she prefers to be Rooney Esq. Please do not confuse C-AS with perpetual motion flim-flam. The concept of perpetual motion is clearly unobtainable as you cannot get something for nothing: You must always supply new energy to overcome losses due to friction, gravity, entropy, etc. Content-Addressable Storage, on the other hand, offers nothing you did not already have and, as such, requires no additional energy to produce results on a perpetual basis. Ken, I understand your skepticism. C-AS has always faced an uphill struggle to gain acceptance because of the great skepticism that it engenders. I can promise you, however, that as we approach the everyday use of terabit processing (it won't be long now), C-AS will be ready to assume its rightful place as a technology that offers concomitant benefits at very-low cost. Thanks for your support.
