I can't wait to see what they'll discover next.* John Ellis'
   lecture got me excited for the future of particle physics
   again.* I always believed there'd be "more more" but then you
   see all the media articles and science fans going, "We're almost
   finished", which to me seems rather unlikely. Can I see a use
   for the quarks?* Absolutely.* Imagine fast processors. REALLY
   FAST processors. The short lifetime of the top quark for
   example, if it becomes a manipulateable thing, could be used as
   a part of the process.* Its lifespan's shortness would be a
   benefit, perhaps as a sort of timing mechanism.* I don''t know.*
   What seems so short today might seem like eons to a future tech
   we haven't come close to yet.
