“DNA-based computing: not a new idea”

Depends on how you define new. I remember reading about this in the 70s, but it was not reality until the 90s

maybe in “omni” or “playboy” or who knows Amazing Stories, or maybe ironically “Analog”?

I'm pretty sure Los Alamos Labs has been working on this for years.

I seem to remember them reporting some result via EE Times back in the late 80's / early 90's, during an earlier AI Craze that we are now re-living.
