Wow...a DNA editor...

The screen cap was kind of spooky, a prosaic yet-another-Windows-app presenting a DNA designer. I have to admit that I was half-wondering if it wasn't a late April Fools...went to the Nanorex site, and it looked real (but then, so does a phishing site), but the clincher was finding that K. Eric Drexler's the CTO. OK, that's real. Check this out (if they'll let me use an image), by Drexler:

Isn't that sweet? Bunch more like it on this Nanorex page.

Nanotech's been just over the horizon for so many decades, it's way cool to something so tangible as a nanoCAD package. Now, we just need to be able to click the "Build" button and the nanofactory plugged into your USB port will just spit out a few billion copies.
