     I was recently referred to three books about AI, namely GODEL ESCHER 
BACH, AI AND NATURAL MAN, and MACHINES WHO THINK (I have the first two and 
can get the last).  What I would like to do is to try to write some type of 
AI program--probably in Pascal.  I have quite a bit of experience with 
Pascal, but not that much with AI.  My question is, can anyone point out 
anything particularly interesting that I could program (given the limitation 
that I have a Mac IICX, and limited space and memory)?  I've seen some 
really impressive accounts of AI in AI AND NATURAL MAN, but I'm not sure how 
feasible it is to try to program some of the examples on my computer.
     I want to make clear that I am more interested in getting a feel for AI 
than trying to do something original.
     Thanks in advance.
