True (maybe), but who says you need atoms to store info? Who knows
what sort or memory will come out in the next 1000 years? Someone
might eventually figure out how to etch (and read) bit patterns onto
a 50 dimentional hyperplane with a capacity of 2^256 bits that can be
folded to something the size of a grain of salt. Far fetched, but
you never know.
Hmm, end of thread I think, getting too wierd.
