I'd be interested to hear your precis of Kurtzweil's thesis, briefly, if
you have time, as would others on the list I'm sure. It does seem very
relevant to the discussion about Turing and A.I. It's a shame that the
replies to you weren't forwarded to the list as well. Sometimes there's
no harm in forwarding them on yourself, if circumstances warrant it,
that is.

best for Y2K to you (and all), too.
