Well, Tiggr doesn't meet the criteria for a sentient being, so we can
logically conclude that it ain't (yet). :)
Besides, if Kat had achieved the impossible, I would hope she'd let somebody
know (at least this list!), although now that I think about it, she's prolly
not willin' to share anymore...

As long as the approach isn't, "When you've got free time, do this..."
That's programming. That's not intelligence. You have to let the sentient
figure out what to do with its free time... and discover that it can, in
that free time, expand its knowledge via the 'net.
A man-made sentient being will need to "grow up," and will require training,
analogous to the development of a human being... From helpless infant to
fully-functioning adult. The MMSB will need a parent!
