So there was "Leading Edge", then came the slang "Bleading Edge"...  and
now I'm introducing a new word which may become a part of the new techno
slang "Lightning Edge".

I felt compelled to share this with all of you, as it has potential in ALL
aspects of computing...  NOT JUST Asterisk...  but if a real super
computer could be affordable to the little guys, I think its a revolution
in itself, and we all could perhaps afford Space Age computing for our
telecom servers.

has all the details.   Basically the topic is "Replacing wire with laser,
Sun tries to speed up data"

If SUN accomplishes a proof of concept within the next 5 years and is able
to speed up data, then I think a new revolution on not just computing, but
telecommunications will have begun.  Sun has always played a major role in
Telecommunications in one form or another.   A lot of soft-switches run on
Sun platform.   So I can only imagine the possibilities if wire's could be
replaced by lasers.
