LOL! That's WAFER, not water. It's a silicon disc that has DRAMs
literally made on it. Though strangely enough, "fabricated water" would
make sense in Singapore now. There is a new initiative here, where they
are building water recycling plants that recycle -- among other things
-- human waste fluids into drinkable water! It's called NEWater
(http://www.pub.gov.sg/NEWater_files/index.html)! Something else for the
Yanks to laugh at us about -- until they come here and have to drink
it! :)

Bottom's up!
