Forget Merom & Santa Rosa... I'll wait for hologram technology before I buy.

A computer with a hologram monitor. That would be pretty neat. Anyone care to speculate how far off this technology is? 10, 15, 20 years?

I'm waiting for my 300 gig flash hard drive to come in my quad core macbook haha. That'll be the day.

I think most research is holography is related to data storage. I know NTT has a working prototype for a drive that holds disks the size of stamps that hold 10 gigs with fast access and no moving parts based on thin-film-holography...

I still want the secretary/assistant/producer in a box with true interactive voice recognition.

Might be cool to create your own 3D holographic studio assistant.

Well, eventually...

Meh, electronics are so 21st century, wake me up when CPUs are powered by nano fibre optics!

Wouldn't that be just a perfect circle if now due to nano architecture all of this power was reduced to a beam of light inside a vacuum tube.

and liger! don't forget Mac OS X Liger!

Well thank god because all this 32-bit obsolete crap won't let me hold my 16 gb's of ram
