[rec.arts.animation] Hello from the year 2013!!

dsp@aiai.ed.ac.uk (D.S. Potter) (03/06/91)

Hello from the year 2013!! My name is Prof. Duncan Potter, Department
of Computing Science and Artificial Intelligence, Edinburgh University
in Scotland.

This message is being posted via an experimental time-machine which is
being built for use with our world-wide distributed operating system
called Pasghetti 4.1.5A (Pasghetti because it uses a PASCAL-like programming
language and "spaghetti" because its links span the world like a bowl of
spaghetti). 

In a few days, I'll attempt to transmit some technical information relating
to the theory on which this "inter-temporal posting mechanism" works.
Perhaps you can build this device and communicate with us. 

This post is either going to make it to 1985, 1988 or 1991. Am I correct.
(Don't answer - I won't be able to hear the response).

Dr. Duncan Sinead Potter
Professor of Computer Science
Edinburgh University,
Scotland, UK
