<Mqurice, does that q come from typing on an AZERTY keyboard? > Good guess! Yes.

From Belgium and the systems people told me I would have to learn to type again. I told them to get stuffed. I figure computers are here to serve my purposes. The computers should do what I want, not what they want. I am not sure how long that will be true and it is a continuing battle, soon to be the biggest battle in human history as the smart Internet defeats humans just as Kasparov was pounded by Deep Blue.

I used to send out internal memos with q instead of a and a couple of other mistakes.

I will defy.

PS: The digital divide is going to increase, not decrease, whatever politicians try to do about it. There will be two species, humans in the old biotic world and CDNA [TM] people who are symbiotic with the smart Internet.

People shouldn't get upset about it. The same thing happened as we parted company from chimpanzees. They are still happy and we are still happy [if we leave them alone in their bushlands]. Non cyber humans will happily play in the olde worlde. Cyber humans with their Internet implants will be in the new world of cyberspace.

Yes, it's true there are more sheep than people in NZ. Some cyber people will put some wool DNA into their skin and avoid getting cold in winter. There are also more birds, fish, ants, spiders, possums and telephones.
