Wafer thin

This is not the first time 45nm wafers have been seen in captivity, but this 12in. collection of circuits could contain around seventy thousand billion transistors — considerably more than there are stars in the largest galaxies known to man.

While full medical records may be of (dubious) value at rear/base medical facilities, these could be provided much simpler by either physical disk or electronic transfer to an "in theatre" database for individuals posted in.
