Maybe it's OK if we don't have the HW now. Sort of like in the 1980s, people we're writing accounting or physics software that needed math co-processors n' stuff -- stuff that didn't quite exist in the early 80s on PCs but people went ahead with the software anyways. Eventually the HW worked out. I think it'll work out. And a decade's not soooo long.
