Subject: [alt-beam] Re: interesting new stuff


Saw the same story on excite! Very interesting. I hope they further
develop that technology. It'll be a while (they said so in teh article),
but at least we have something great to look forward to in the future!
I've heard of those carbon tubes "odd" capabilities. I think one of the
big problems is in mass production of the fibers. I've seen the process
on TV, and it ain't exactly what you call mass production.
