The auto chip-holder.
And people get paid to (a) design (b) manufacture (c) market
these things.
We're doomed, DOOMED I tell thee.

About the Rat
Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more

As my mate CK put it,
You know what bothers me most? In a couple of thousand years some archeologist digging around in our detritus is going to find this thing. Not the Large Hadron Collider, not an Apollo module, not a Mclaren F1, but a sodding chip holder. Probably perfectly preserved along with gangsta rap cd.
