Well folks, what I posted recently may have been a little premature. I have since found a few more references that I have access to. One thing I want to point out about all of these references, I have listed ONLY the ones that I actually have access to. I know there are other articles and sources, probably quite good ones, too. I have omitted them because I do not have them at my disposal to read for this paper -- if you can send me some good references or photocopies thereof (alternatively, electronic versions thereof), I would be very appreciative, BUT I will not list ANY references in my bibliography that I do not have direct access to. Anyway, without further ado, here is the updated list: ------------------------------ Cut here --------------------------------------- Bibliography Anning, Nick and Hebditch, David. ``New chip displays its powers.''
