Hello Mike - 

MR> --- on the topic of "Columbia's 'computers'" 

CA>> After the burned the library at Alexandria no one really
CA>> cared much anymore. 

MR> I was under the impression you don't approve of burning
MR> books? Geez, don't tell me you get a rush watching a goose
MR> stepping parade? 

You obviously are not familiar with the burning of the library
at Alexandria. 

CA>> Is that like the scientologists instrument that sucks the
CA>> 'bad' out of people or mesmer's gizmos or ... there have
CA>> been many instruments that were just so much fluff. You
CA>> place too much confidence in technology. 

MR> A latent talent for comedy, eh? I bet you believe the
MR> Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax? 

In an age when men can make elephants disappear determining what
is real is not an easy thing to do anymore. 

CA>> That would be earth, wind, fire, and water and no I'm not
CA>> a wiccan or any variation of that. 

MR> I stand corrected, but then you're probably a history
MR> major, right? Hey, what about that, how so insensitive of
MR> me! 

In any classical sense of a 'history major', no. I care about
things that happened long ago, a short time ago, yesterday,
today, and tommorrow. I don't think of it as 'history'.
