the thing is, this is truly an incredibly feat of technology where we are at the point in history that we can actually control life, that is program cells to do what we want. It's incredibly innovative, and immensely powerful. Software ain't crap compared to biological programming. Also the reason it takes (relatively) longer than electronic computer circuits are because there are biological machines, enzymatic 'robots' if you will, of polymerase enzymes binding to DNA and RNA and so forth. And that, my friends, is the beauty and wonder of this campaign.
