 A few years ago I was watching the Computer Cronicles on the local PBS
 station here.  The subject of a storage device being researched that 
 stored data in a three dimensional cyrstaline cube.  I believe that it
 was supposed to be built by a company called MCC.  Storage compacities
 were estimated into the Terabyte range with access times close to that
 of say a 120ns RAM chip.
 
 Please send e-mail on any information anyone knows about.
