<what is your definition of "using brainpower"... please explain?> Inventing CDMA, figuring out G as in gravitational constant, beating the best chess programme in a fair fight, building a Hubble telescope [with the correct lens], running a fiat money supply. Yes, swinging from a tree lights up a LOT of our brains as we are well designed for doing just that whereas we aren't designed so completely for sitting clicking on a computer. But as we can see from cat's, snakes and other beasties clambering around in trees, it isn't brain horsepower that's needed; not of the thinking sort anyway, though there's plenty of processing going on. <please explain "smart"? > Able to solve a Shroedinger equation and tie superstrings in knots, for example. Or, write some great software. Mqurice
