You're such an idiot, Choate.
> For each M of DNA & reactant you'll need about a M of water
Are you aware that this implies you need one molecule of water for each
molecule of DNA and reactant? Oh, yeah, good idea. That'll really
dissolve that DNA, won't it? One molecule of water. Brilliant, Choate.
At least we can say one thing: this is certainly up to his usual
standards, isn't it?

Ok, make it 5. That's $1.25 of H2O per mole of reactant then. Say $500 bucks
for the whole computer, and it will *STILL* fit in your bathtub. Still doesn't
alter the viability of the counter. Makes it a bit larger is all. However, as
I said and you are so kind as to ignore this wasn't the optimal solution in
the first place, only viable.
And while you're busy with your next witty responce why don't you post this
over where it goes and quit cross posting to a list that wasn't involved in
the original discussion. Or at least do them the courtesy of including *all*
of the relevant portions instead of the particular snippets you want to edit
to your own ends.
