- Yes, but what about a GROUP of nanotech hackers? If everyone was to contribute
- about the cost of a good 486 system (~$2000), you would only need about eight
- other hobbyists to join you and somebody's basement to put it in. Sounds like
- a good idea for a club to me...

- [A pretty pricey club, with $2000 in dues! It does happen, e.g. I know of
- clubs that own things like an airplane, but most people I know would
- be more likely to form a club to build something...
- (Of course I know a lot of destitute grad students!)
