Years ago, my father, who worked at IBM for many a year, told me about a friend of his who got a patent through IBM for a Trinary processor. Instead of your off/on, it had off/on/maybe. A revolution in computing. Did they use it? No.

Will they trot it out in a few years to fight Moore’s Law? Probably.

Who knows.

They’ll have fun trying to turn off my 75 Corvette, or my 57 Chevy pickup, or my 53 Willys.

That comment is useless without pictures. :-)

One courageous guy with a backhoe in each town can solve this. Too bad there isn’t one.
