I first read this as a prediction that in 15-20 years, we'll solve our current specific computer problems. But then I realized, it could as easily be taken to mean that the problems we face in 15-20 years will make current problems pale by comparision... Well, it just takes one glance at the WWW to confirm that if you take general human stupidity and add a lot of computer power, you don't get less stupidity, just higher efficiency at being stupid. :-) -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
