By week's end both sides had called a "cease-fire," but the problem was nowhere near solution.

Best of all, the microcircuits will eventually be cheaper than conventional circuits because they will combine the production of a welter of separate components into a single manufacturing process, are easier to install and can be produced entirely by automation...
