Note:  I haven't read the article, so perhaps I'm pretty far offbase here.

There's no reason why you couldn't do gate arrays and logic.  Digital
circuits are a subset of analog circuits, so if you can do analog, you can
do digital.  They say that they can't make a CPU because its too slow, but
simple gates and logic don't have to run at modern computer frequencies.
Even if the logic chips clocked at something like 50kHz, wouldn't that be
enough?

Sounds like fun to me!

It would be great to beable to fabricate analog ICs right in your own home.

It's too bad there can't be the analog equivilent of programmable logic and 
gate arrays.
