[XCSSA] 2010 - Space Odessy - "the reality"

[X-otic Computer Systems of San Antonio]

Ok,
This isn't about the spaceship2 commerical space flight
stuff, just a few things more down to earth.
With 12TerraFlop super computers now available for
"home" assembly how far off can the first version of a
Trek-like holodeck be (licensing issues not withstanding)?
Or more realistically, when's 3-D VR-Doom gonna be old news?
