soon, computers will replace judges! Nancy Grace, watch your back! BTW, today's my birthday. That means that so far I've received about 10 different "happy birthday" messages from computers (various web-sites I use, stores where I have loyalty cards, etc.) How can anyone think that this will make my birthday any happier? it's like when the ATM says "thank you" or "have a nice day." Who is their right mind thinks that these statements mean _anything positive_ if it's not expressed by an actual human being or some other self-conscious entity? or maybe it's because machines are making the marketing decisions, too? I'm surprised that I haven't received any robo-calls singing "happy birthday" to me! -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
