In percentage of the population, most Jews were deported from Holland due to the excellent statistics ad bookkeeping and the eagerly cooperating civil servants. Since 2001 Christian diligence and obsession with doing stuff that's quite unimportant is again as dangerous and destructive as it was in prewar times. Remarkably the government has been in state of collapse several times in the past 30 months, but they keep repairing hemselves like a malicious cancer.
The bandwidth problem of the perspecta display comes from needing to display an image from all points of view
That's not true. You should clearly identify the different techniques that are used to display 3D images. The perspecta uses a transparent image. The image in fact is really 3D, i.e. a light dot actually is projected to a point in space (on the rotating disk) where you see it. So, it's only a single image and only one image need to be calculated per frame.
The bandwidth problems you talk about occur with projecting a "true" object, like a hologram. In the case of a hologram thousands of images are needed. Because that's the only way to calculate the information that's needed for including occlusion. The perspecta just puts down a dot. A hologram also defines the directions that a single dot is allowed to radiate.
The lack of occlusion is a serious problem with the perspecta, not to mention the fact that the image is in a globe and can not be touched.

They do exist. And as with the perspecta the first patents of these devices date from about a century ago. They can be found using google searching for 'volumetric display'. But a serious problem with the image in all those volumetric devices, however, is that it is transparent, severely limiting what you can use it for. It's like watching things in wire frame. This is OK for a cube, but it gets difficult when you try to decipher images that are more complex. Also, different colors seem to appear at slightly different depths, even if they're in the same a plane. My guess is that these are not very convenient for watching pr0n.

However, would I choose to use Hollerith cards, will Windows install any faster that it does now?

Don't know. Lets shoot another $125 million Mars orbiter into the sky and find out!
