Seriously!? I actually wrote Brin about that story because I had to know if there was some research on those gamete computers because it was so interesting! And agreed, it would be as cool as hell if that becomes canon, it might, I'm paraphrasing here, but Brin did say that every now and then he runs across someone "who gets it" and he just has to nod and add it. I'll have to go dig out that letter now.
.... I hope you don't mind if I borrowed the idea of those things to solve an RPing plot hole involving some livestock variety. I attributed it to Brin, since it was in his book, but I'll edit it over to you now that I know better.
