If the necessary software has been developed too (an almost-certainty)

Yeah, just like shitloads of dualcore and quadcore programs were released after the hardware was available...



Oh wait...

Oh nice! Can't even imagine what it would be like to see some roses for example, when you've been blind for years, besides just smelling them.
Nevermind flowers, let's talk about seeing women for the first time ever.

Jimmy, dunno if anyone has pointed this out, but "neutrons" are electrically neutral particles found in the nucleus of all atoms, while brain cells are called "neurons"... Excellent story by the way :)

Lol, I think I might be slightly dyslexic. I know what neutrons are (and I have heard of neurons) - I thought it seemed a bit confusing :confused:

Thanks for clearing that up - I thought I must just be missing something.

Oh wait...
There are tons of multi-core apps out there. Games have just been slow to adopt.
