>I think I am moving to Idaho <g>. The filing fee here is 100 + 9 (they call the $9 "convenience fee"; of course it is convenient for them to take my money). The f-ing state used to require that I actually file the paperwork and the explanation was that for them to process the papers they needed this $100. Now they just take the money over the web, no need to file papers. Just give us your money. I suppose now the $100 pays for my electrons to be filed <g>.

You know how hard it is to file steel. You need a good file, probably encrusted in industrial diamonds embedded in titanium, to do that properly. Now imagine how much more expensive the tools must be if you are making mechanical clocks - the file used must be much smaller, much more precise, yet the steel is just as hard as before, if not harder.

Now try filing electrons.
