> I'm somewhat curious. Do you think that a working 'quatum' computer, which will obviously be owned and controlled by the ruling goverment-corporatocracy is going to help individual freedom? I have no idea. I consider it virtually axiomatic that there is no invention that can be used purely for helping freedom, or used purely for harming freedom. .But I think there tends to be a bias in the system that allows individuals to use inventions FOR freedom. Government is slow, stupid, and tends to lack imagination. Jim Bell
