Yes. It's much better I must admit...

Well you've gone to all the trouble of making the computers so we might as well
use them to help spread the glories of God [Krishna] that makes your efforts
worthwhile. We wouldn't have bothered to make them ourselves...
It's not really good, it is an "anartha". It means unnecessary thing... But we can
all such "unnecessary things" in the service of Krishna. Then they become
worthwhile.
It is all Krishna's energy anyhow. You have just discovered it that's all. Krishna
put the qualities into the silicon so it would work in your computer chips... And
he has given you good brains to work out how to build the computers... It's only
fair that you use the technology to glorify God...
But the point of my posting is not to criticize quantum mechanics or computers. I
am merely pointing out the paradox...
