    How will Nano asseblers really work outside labs? It would be very difficult
    to build a nano assebler that would be able to deal with all the different
    evolutionary micro organism. It would have a hard time dealing with self
    organization of it's own molecular structure let alone the diverse attacks
    from other micro organism. Plus most micro organism really only function
    well at a certain tempature and ph. It seems highly improbable that a nano
    assebler can be created and be functional in a non-isolated enviroment. Why?
    because evolution would have already created them a thousand times over.

    It would be much more likely to incorporate a nano assembler in some type of
    existing organism. However this would be very difficult for the nano
    asseblers to do anything too complex as the organism would determining how
    they assembled together. It might require many stages of many slightly
    altered micro organism to get one simple effect.

    When they do get these nano asseblers up and running in labs it will be
    interesting to see their evolution occuring even at that level. Maybe after
    the first one replicates 10 to the 100th power they will evolve enough. But
    will they still be funtional? If we select the functional ones to survive
    will they evolve enough?

    I'm sure there are many things I'm overlooking here,
    Thanks for your help, Nate
