Well the clever folks up at Berkeley are trying to deliver
Santa Claus machines without the need for "real" nanotech.

The interesting thing (at least to me) is that if something
built this way breaks, there is no way in hell you are going
to be able to fix it.

Interesting, it means you could run the printer all night
printing out palm-pilots and then go out the next day
and use them for skeet practice.
