Leo, you're definitely cracked! And I'm cracked up! I just snagged the
uuencoded version of Robotroff that you recently posted - I keep telling
myself "It's not funny anymore", but everytime those little buggers walk
across my screen (while editing in Z - boring stuff) I start chuckling
again. Well done! Given your creative talents, I'm surprised we haven't
seen something of a more useful nature, like a dancing database or a
singing word processor :-). Keep having fun...we're enjoying it too!

Mark

p.s. Those little creeps are rude! I don't mind them messing with my
mouse, but they keep stepping on my cursor!

I just came back from a talk by Rudy Rucker (who's now teaching CS at
SJ State). He was talking about some kind of "event" for the release
of his new novel in November; with maybe a dozen or so machines, and a
contest to see who could come up with the zaniest screen.

My thoughts were instantly: "Call the man in the cape!" Imagine a
Tilted Ing screen, with Robotroff running on it....

Of course, by then, Leo will have something else even more amazing
running....
