You gave me the first good chuckle Iv'e had in a long while. When I was saying "so what?" and "who gives a sh&t". I was only refering to someone being upset over pulling the plug or hitting the off switch. They will be marvels that mankind has never seen and they willl create future marvels that we cant even imagine. I have no doubt that they will someday feel and emote. Even attaining true sentience. But they will not be alive. Unless we change our standards of what we consider valuable I see problems ahead. It is all fine and dandy to feel compasion for fellow intellects, but we must always remember that they will not be "us". By any definition used today they would be considered "alive". We need to change that definition. I'm just spouting to spout. feel free to ignore me. ;*) Rob
