The NDA he presented is decidedly lopsided in his favor, but he did say he is
open to a more balanced one. Problem here is most lawyers have proven to
me they'd rather shoot themselves in both feet than give me good advice.

He gave Irv a *much much* clearer example of the process he wanted. One
that is close to a rough program already in the archives that no one has
mentioned yet. It's not Ai, but it is a basic "decisioning" (expert) program
(with no data, no way to save it, import it, no correction, no comparisons, no
etc).
