     A friend of mine just bought the book, "The End of Work" by Jeremy
Rifkin, and he told me there is no mention of fabbers or RP or SLA or
anything in our field. Isn't it amazing that one of the formost current
books on what people do for a living has nothing to say about the most
exciting technology on the planet! My guess is Rifkin never heard of
fabricators or RP because if he had heard of it he would have had a lot
to say about it.
