    LMAO! That is Gold! Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

    Or those fascinating little programmes on how stuff is made. The intricacies of the manufacture of Golf Balls or Spark Plugs or some such stuff. Fills half an hour of your life, and you learn things too. ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

    Hardly a proposal.. More like a "Sooo, how much you make? Cause I am now gonna take half". Now, I guess you could choose to marry. But then its more like "Sooo how much you make. Cause I am now gonna take it all" ;P Computers have been intelligent for a long time now.
