I was an attendee and participant at the 2nd artificial life conference in Sante Fe in 1992. I considered that far more interesting and promising than "artificial intelligence". Subsequently however i got into audio & MIDI programming which is less interesting but more fun. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
