Have a little faith,
That smooth-talking guy working the phones just loves it when people have faith in him.
also did you hear about IBM figuring out how to hold computer memory at the atomic level.
Chemists and solid state physicists have been getting better at designing molecules and surfaces with specific geometry for years. There is nothing new about layers one molecule thick. That's what these guys do -- they point to conventional research and try to characterize it as nanotechnology. That's a long way from self-replicating machines.
