Ja, but the MBrain pitch isn't AI class or related at all.  I downplayed
that aspect of MBrains.  This audience is filled with stodgy engineers, not
hard core types like... us.

I would have, but it's over 20 megabytes.  Theoretically I could give myself
permission and jam that through the filter, but I don't consider that quite
right.

No, these are three guys who have been anticipating this pitch however,
three guys with whom I have been discussing the matter offlist.

There are still two guys here I hope will volunteer to read the pitch, Eugen
and Anders.  Actually I probably need to reference both as contributors of
ideas to the whole notion.  

Before he became distracted by another project (the computer history thing)
Robert Bradbury and I were  anticipating co-authoring a book on MBrains.
Not a word of it was written at his unexpected and untimely passing.  So now
it is a solo act, but I would welcome critical review of the presentation.

Mike are you upwardly signing?
