A bit like left and right brain faculties. Most problems involve elements of both, but Google's domain (search) really falls more into the latter, while applications of Pd are constructive and fall better into the former. -- Use the source _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
