[Coco] Off Topic - Creating logic circuits with magnets andwater...

[K. Pruitt]

Speaking of bubble memory, and to bring this back to a more CoCo-related 
subject,

Our host, Dennis, published a Bubble Memory project for the CoCo in Color 
Computer magazine back in the CoCo's early days.

What this guy at Stanford is doing is literally running a water droplet 
along traces as if it were current. I think we've all heard the analogy of 
current flowing like water. This guy seems to have taken that quite 
literally.

However, I don't think we'll ever see an "iDrop" or "iPuddle" in production.
