Quite the opposite of computer hardware, which is rapidly approaching the 'landfill' grade of oversupply. The flat top of these chip carriers is a smooth, even grain sized, surface of the finest alumina. You can get the best edge you've ever seen on a knife. Just pop the chip out of your motherboard, cut off all those pesky little legs, and there you are - a real Dhrystone. If this is not a poetic end for an Intel processor, I don't know what is.
Humans are stupid.
Chaos is Nature's way of keeping you interested.
