Subject: [alt-beam] Re: What does purposeful mean, anyway?
What does it matter to us if BEAM tech designs are 'robots'? I don't really
see if whether a machine has a purpose or not should influence what is - for
most of us - a hobby. It seems rather purposeless to be discussing this
anyhow, since most of us (including yours truly) are extremely stubborn and
won't give in to another way of thought.
Anyhow, just my not-so-humble opinion,
Signing off,
Rob Rix
P.S. Anyone got a couple of pennies to spare?
