Do you know of _any_ venture capitalists who might be even remotely 
interested in reducing the physical distance between processing elements
and 
their local/regional memory source(s)? My cousins sister is good friends 
with a guy from Google (his first name is Ray). Should I ask him what he 
thinks? Would I be wasting his time???? He spends his some of hard earned 
money in the form of donations to the South Lake Tahoe Basin and Douglas 
County Region of Nevada. This is real. I have several Ideas, but I DO NOT 
like to WASTE peoples TIME! Any advise Sir?!

Are there any integral caveats wrt state-of-the-art liquid and fan 
intergraded cooling systems?
