    Hi salice@gmx.net -

    Jeez....

    What do you call getting a professorship, or writing books? Don't take me
    literally about the bicycle thing.

    "I write in order to find out what I know." - Patricia Hampl

    How do you learn about the universe?

    He has senses. Always has.

    Some of his response behaviors are shut off, but, technical compensation
    is there. He has many behaviors available.
