I wouldnt get too excited about it. So far the "deadline" has been pushed
back about 17 years from the original date so who knows when it will happen.
And maybe by then somebody will have come up with something that can be
retailed for a dollar, like the calculators that I recently bought at
WalMart. It has photocells that recharge its battery. Had to get another one
because the numbers wore off the keys. And the RFID chips that cost about a
quarter. I marveled at the calculator technology. When I was in college we
used hand-cranked Frieden calculators that cost several thousand 1950
dollars.

overlooked?
