This sounds like it might be another case of 'proving' that bumble
bees can't fly. My math isn't good enough to show this right or
wrong, but there must be *something* wrong with this argument. $4
billion dollars just for the silicon?!? >>

You are right, silicon is too cheap for that kind of price. I can see 4
millions for the cost of launchs and so forth but not that much.

The more you love, the more you can love-and the more intensely you love.
Nor is there any limit on how many you can love.
If a person had time enough, he could love all of the majority who are
decent and just.
