Okay, perhaps a more neutral term would be "non-human". But there is no question that anyone (who is paying attention) mistakes the non-human performance for a human one. Given that, the issue boils down to a matter of taste. I think we are in a decades-long cultural trend of fascination with technology. My personal view is that the fascination is misplaced. Perhaps for me, familiarity breeds contempt. But if that is so, then I foresee the culture at-large eventually experiencing the same shift. -- Robert Patterson http://www.robertgpatterson.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
