There are all kinds of theories as to what happened at Tunguska, up to and including a micro black hole passing thru the earth. The best one has gotta be involving Tesla and his "death ray". http://www.parascope.com/en/0996/tesla4.htm
you're going to need solid, long-term business applications
You're also going to need solid support from the tax paying, voting public. That, sadly enough, will probably wind up being the bigger hurdle. Slashdotters and SF con geeks (that may be a redundant grouping, actually) aside, the general populace seems less than enthused about space. Tragically so, IMO.
uses Word to convert DOC files to OpenOffice-readable files (perhaps RTF) in batch mode?
That's a good one for the wish-list. Make the jump that much easier for entrenched MS Office users. Any VBA hackers out there wanna take a crack at it? Or even better, is there a way to do it from the other end, i.e., a script (perl?python?) that'll grab all the.docs from an NTFS mount, convert and copy 'em?
While we're on the subject of wish-lists, spellcheck anyone?:)

Try Vernon Vinge.
Excellent author, btw.
Someone cracks open your PC and a 175Db alarm sounds
Or just hook the PS to the case body...with a transformer to boost that 12V line up a tad...
Of course, you'd then fry the shit out of everything IN the case, but you'd know if it was opened!
I give it 45 minutes before the storm of emails from family, friends, etc., arrives warning about this one.
All caps, of course.
