I keep wondering why my .signature is constantly equated with Bill Gates? One of the reasons I selected it was that it says many things, different things to different people. I like it because it pokes fun at the serious eggheads who profess to measure things such as the amount of our brain that is actually used. Then there is the other slant which suggests our dreams and intuition originate from the part of our brain which the eggheads can't measure. Where dreams and intuition are key components of the Human Operating System. Another way to look at it is that humans rarely do things the most efficient way. Or do things for any good reason whatsoever. Must be due to that lousy Human Operating System. If nothing else, its a cute way of pointing out that humans are not computers. If anyone is curious where I stole my .signature from, it popped up in fortune(6) one day. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
