Totally amazing..
someday, and not too far away ..
things ( that can work in vanagons too ) will be so microscopic in size..
there will be something that can do something..
that occupies no physical space.

zero mass nanobytes ..........for eternal vanagon tail lights or something
like that.
Zmn's for short.

and how is it that people can do rear wheel bearings on vanagons, and have
the job go south in just a few thousand miles lately  ?
and in this case I don't think it's workmanship that is the issue.
