It was the first parser that you could ask questions ("Is Mariko with the Samurai?", "Is the galley on the ocean?", etc.) Of course, they never *would* listen to my complaints that the parser's answers were often wrong ("The Erasmus is not in the storm"), but, hey... when you're getting ripped apart by your parent company, when you need to get this thing out of testing and into production in a hurry, and when half of your testing department is going back to school in the fall, you don't listen to testers' petty complaints. :) > Excalibur & the Lady of the Lake Which, of course, is not the basis for a system of government.
