Oh, you mean....like CORE? Gee, where have I heard of this before?

Little etched iron doped silicon toroid cores and etched windings on a
wafer. Or are they doing something else, like bubble mem?

MyAside - MS Outlook is giving me crap because toroid isn't in it's
dictionary, the same dictionary shared by MS Word. I can't believe that
MS doesn't bother to include that. Maybe it's in the additional expense
pack for Mathematics.
