What an incredible concept! I wonder if PIC's are on the cards of the future? Imagine plugging oneself serially into RA0 of your favorite PIC and kicking out various outputs to carry out your subliminal wishes.

Well, they do say that sifi contains viable research material! Take the moon landing for example - they said it couldn't be done! All the while, comic books were documenting things that came close to what soon became reality!
