Ray Kurzwiel has said for a number of years that accelerating returns on technology development will lead to a merger between biology and technology at the atomic level. This will enhanced state of physical being and shared consciousness will make many of the worlds problems irrelevant.
You managed 50,000 machines and 100,000 users with only 80 servers and 10 poeple 1/2 of which were help desk? and NO PROBLEMS! To me it sounds like you didn't provide Email or internet access on top of having compleatly locked down desktops. That's a nice but uncommon environment.
The brain is full of switches, how the states are changed will be different in a non-organic system, so the chemicals and wiring mentioned probably won't be relevant. Also the first attempts at a full brain scan will likely be destructive to the brain to get the detail required. The non-destructive will come later.
Eventually when they figure out how to capture the required info, and what they "instanciatiate" this info into won't be some mass of tissue. It'll be something like a swarm of nanites that act as cells do now, but much more capable. Like say having you cells fly apart and over to Paris to reconcentrate for meeting, or maybe just send you're thoughts over the web that you're jacked into and forget travel, lawnmower man style.
This will be one of the most successful movies of all time. It's been anticipated for years worldwide. Seems these folks are just extra into something much of the whole world has been waiting for, not fringe weirdoes to be pitied.
I've worked with PC's and Proaudio professionally (but separately) for almost 10 years, and for the money and ease of use I really like the Roland VS series Digital Studio Workstations. Nice feature set, portable, just plug in your mics, edit, mixdown, and master to CD.
