X-Message-Number: 7000 Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 10:36:06 -0700 (PDT) From: John K Clark <> Subject: SCI.CRYONICS Uploading at IBM -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I found an interesting quotation from IBM Scientist Donald Eigler In the September 29 issue of The New York Times Magazine, page 140. Eigler is perhaps the world's greatest expert on The Scanning Tunneling Microscope, he's the fellow who printed the word "IBM" using just 35 atoms back in 1989. Eigler says: " It's great to think: God, I can build things on the atomic scale. What do I do with that? Our data storage capacity alone is getting to be large enough that by the time I'm ready to kick the bucket, we might be able to store enough information on my exact physical makeup that someday we'll be able to reassemble me, atom by atom. That would be fun." Eigler is 43 years old.
