	Funny, I've never seen Scientific American in a supermarket checkout
counter. Maybe where you live.

	As for Kurzweil, his work in automatic book readers, speech synthesis, and
continuous voice recognition is widely known. His use of computers to
accomplish important real world tasks is undeniably brilliant, and I think
he deserves a great deal of slack.
