I have often wondered what I would do with a copy of myself---or
perhaps what a copy of myself would do with me.  For instance, when
I got up this afternoon I needed to do my laundry.  Suppose I
created an exact duplicate.  One of me could do the laundry while
the other read net.sf-lovers.

But if he were an exact duplicate, he (I?---we seem to need new
pronouns) would want to read net.sf-lovers and have me do the
laundry.  How could we come to an agreement?  (Perhaps I would
do the washing and he the drying... :-) )

Still I can imagine all sorts of interesting things we could
do.  But until someone invents a duplicator, we will have to
be contented with mere speculation.
