Rich, there is more than one way to parse ``the mind is separate from the
physical brain and body''. One is a belief in the soul that goes to heaven.
But there is another. UNIX runs on a great many hardware configurations without
it being the case that UNIX can run without a hardware configuration, after 
all. The question is, can you port the ``mind of laura'' which already runs
well on the squishy hardware that is typing this note to something that is a
little more durable?

Note that the idea of what a mind is is not the same thing as what a mind is.
The idea of what UNIX is is not what UNIX is either.  (Read net.unix-wizards.
Some people have ideas about UNIX which have nothing to do with any UNIX I
know...)
