As long as you have a brain and it can learn, you've not reached your > full potential, right? Wrong. I can feel my abilities slipping, and it's a proven fact that living in total isolation from society will cause what i feel: slower wit, less memory, and apathy about everything. I go 3 weeks routinely without laying eyes on another human, much less speaking to a human in real life, unless i goto a store to buy something. So yes, i feel like i am past my peak, even tho it was a much lower peak than i should have been reaching. Creating a sentient Ai tells me the machine is valued over me. I just got a price for *me* to get dsl. It will be installed 60 miles from me, cost $80/month (plus installation), in a section south of Birmingham noted for high crime and drug abuse rates. There will be no security for the installation, and it's a 2hour commute to drive there. Either that, or i learn Perl to get the nix shell in Netherlands operational. Kat
