Hi Elaine!

Out of sheer curiousity, have you (or anyone else on the list) read Neal
Stephenson's sci-fi book "The Diamond Age"?

It deals HEAVILY with Nano/RP.... and is a great story as well. I figured
the book would be popular with the list, but as I am new to the list myself,
I thought I would throw it out there!

Here's a link to the book on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0553380966/qid=999606970/sr=2-1/103-7
005775-0033441

It's really a WONDERFUL visualization of what we might hope to see one day
from Nano/RP!

Enjoy!
