Stephen Smoliar expresses some doubt that an exploration of parallel
processing architectures and software will yield a net reduction
in entropy in my largely uncultivated right hemisphere.  But he
does allow that a romp with the connection machine "would just
add a bit more metaphorical spice to an already savory stew."

I appreciate your comments, Stephen.  We seem to have competing
theories as to the salutary effects of downloading some new mindware
for the right brain.

Being the good scientist that I profess to be, it would appear that
that an experiment is called for here to test our competing theories.

What lies behind the door?  Is it the Lady, with treasures and
pleasures unimagined?  Or is it the Tiger, slavering to dine on
a spicy metaphorical stew?

So, in the honored tradition of experiential learning, let me open
the door and discover the outcome to this mystery.

Stay tuned to this newsgroup for further developments....
