Jim Jim, You astound me, Somehow you take a very well thought and said
example of how BEAM robots will one day be very useful and turn it into what
you want to see. But you should also remember there would be no horses if
there was no gnats, nature had to practice some where. Well, believe what
you will I'm not here to change anyones mind, just express my own opinions on
the subject.
Peace Out
