[net.nlang] intelligent != computer

rggoebel (01/23/83)

It seems to me that this discussion began with someone from npoiv!npois!bsg
asserting that to be intelligent was to be more like a computer, and that
intelligent terminal was a usage that verified the claim.  I do know what
the terminology "intelligent terminal" is interpreted to mean by computing
people, Ed, but you can't seriously support that claim that being more like
a computer makes you more intelligent?

I would probably include a "smiling face" at the end of my replies, but I
don't know what it means?
