A bit overstated but still interesting with the music turned up for dramatic effect:

BOB51,
Get yourself a copy of the soundtrack, "Last of the Mohicans" ('92) composed by Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman. It is addicting.
As to the future.....I'l be worm food.

Thanks I B, I had wondered what the music was. In many blogs the music got as much comment as the points made but no-one knew where it came from.
As regards being worm food, you might not want to write off the life extension and anti-aging research just yet. The wilder remarks on future computing came from Ray Kurzweil:
| Quote: | His goal is to stay alive long enough so that advances in nanotechnology and therapeutic cloning techniques can extend human life into the triple digits.
"If we can all hang in there another 10 years, we may all be able to experience the remarkable future ahead," he said. |

On that estimate, you can expect miracles after another six years...

Bob,
Just watched the Demos debate. They earned points for the best obfuscation. The hell with anti-aging. More of this and I'l be ready for a bottle of Seconal.
