ACKK! Is this for real? Whoa man, what centuru is > this?! I mean this isn't for reeee-al is it? Quick, what day is it -- nope not > April first... > > Somebody tell me it isn't possible yet -- please! Why? I beleive it cause I've benn *expecting* it since @ 85. See I beleive technology possibilities are way ahead of what you see, cause of dumb capital. but something truly amazing will show up if you can convince a deep pocket to do it *right*. So I've been expecting this and the fractal compression/ data-expression deal ( SIMPLE code regenerates COMPLEX data ) and a number of other goodies for a while now I feel *better* in that *we* aren't a totally myopic species. No personal flame at all, but raise you expectations and you might be pleasantly supprized! Clyde
