Actually, I heard a rumor the other day that MB* isn't a person at all, but
actually a computer program.  Part of on-going research project in the
Department of Psychology at Carnegie-Mellon.  The program is written in
Common LISP, and runs on a 16MHz Mac II with 8 megabytes of RAM.  The 
project is apparently overseen by Herbert Simon, but my source for the rumor 
had no idea what this project is trying to achieve.  This is, of course, just 
a rumor.

*MB is a registered trademark of Milton-Bradley.  That is, apparently, a little
 in-joke amoung the folks involved in this project.
