If you were a fan of Babylon 5, you'd know that they carried around these crystals as the primary method of data storage. Makes sense - a pinchful of salt contains more information-processing and potentially storage potential than all the world's computers and hard drives combined. It's just how to control the information in the sub-nano-meter range that is difficult.
Anyways, cool story! Reminded me of the Crusade show about an alien who had taken the sum total of his race's knowledge into a handful of "high compression" data crystals and was willing to sell it to the highest bidder.
