a least one of the scenarios is whether a person becomes as fluent in a computer language as in their native language ... one of the supposed traits of fluency is actually "thinking" & "dreaming" in a language (as opposed to constantly translating between the language they are working in and some other language that they think in). anecdotal stories are people that have had dreams in a "computer" language. -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
