Are any of you old-timers from the Monadnock Mountain Robotics Conference out there and reading this net? If so, where are you all now? Remember 1978, when Carl Helmers was still editing BYTE and sponsoring the conference, Andy Filo was doing home-made ICs in his oven, Jim Albus had just taken over the robotics circus at NBS, Todd Loofborough and his dad had just finished their homemade robot, I was still writing Brains of Men and Machines, Dick Moberg was doing the strange things Dicj Moberg does, and we all met for a week to plan the future of robotic lunacy? As I recall, we wagered two ounces of gold on when the first workable robot butler would be available (I went long, guys, I'm winning!) Where are you all now? I can't even remember all the good people that were there. Send Email, and I'll compile a list and send it back. Ernie Kent ewk@philips.philabs.com 914-945-6420
