Re: New Material Found to be Perfect for Supercomputer Circuit Board Construction

With a title containing "Perfect for Supercomputer Circuit Board Construction" and a first sentence containing " a new plated metal combination that easily superconducts at average temperatures", I was expecting something a little more exciting. Since I don't have any liquid Helium around, 6 Kelvin is out of my normal working temperature range. Also, the article implies that removing the resistance of the circuit board will allow an "incredibly fast and powerful" computer to be made. I thought most of the power lost during computations was due to switching logic levels inside the integrated circuits, not resistance of the traces on the PC board. I was disappointed that I didn't learn anything from this article, and hope that future articles will be more educational.

later,

Carl (from the whining complaint department)
