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.
