:-C

Eliza requires as much compute power as an ant!?!

This is really far out.   Or were you just talking about an ant's social
responses, ignoring locomotory and foraging behavior?  By the time you
include all of the things an ant does (solar navigation, food recognition,
obstacle avoidance, feeding, cleaning, digging, carrying, ...) I really
think you would have a hard time getting a 386-based PC to do it in real
time (like an ant does). [And Eliza will run just fine on a Z80].
