Out of "Time" Quote:
"No one wants to predict definitely how long it will take. "It couldn't
possibly be less than ten years," says Sir John Cockcroft. "It might be
as long as 50. Twenty plus is about the most reasonable guess."
(still one year to go for Sir John's prediction ;-)
Hmm... Perhaps... that only reasonable thing in the whole gigabuck
boondoggle was that one of the devices was called the Perhapsatron...
John Cockcroft died in 1967. He won the Nobel Prize in 1951.
