G'morning Terry, MM> PR> I think it was reported in an old April issue of Analog. MM> Analog, huh ? I never really got into them, an infrequent import MM> in the New Zealand of my youth - and never sighted in England. TV> Never sighted? TV> You're looking in all the wrong places, then. TV> I read it regularly in London. Mmmm ... I was in Rugby, Warwickshire, and a keen member of the old library in the 30's & 40's. Science fiction came in texts written by Verne and Wells, while CQ, Popular Mechanics and the Aeromodeller kept me busy practically... My first reading of Analog would have been in the 50s or so, and by then I was hemmed in by study-reading in education and psychology... I flirted in the 70's with a lot of Asimov - and latterly with Bryson, the E=MC^2 fellow and Michael King. Now ... I'm interested in cracking the consciousness puzzle and cursed by such wonders as Dennett's "Consciousness Explained" (the densest tome ever writ) and Crick's "Astonishing Hypothesis" and their bearing on the mystery of how people read - relieving the sheer pain with light stuff like Dan Brown's Langdon omnibus which whiled away a hailstorm on Sunday .... some interesting technology in there, too. :-)) ___ MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.45 --- Maximus/2 3.01* Origin: === Maxie BBS.
