#N:whuxlb:5200018:000:416 whuxlb!ech Dec 8 02:15:00 1982 For an excellent description of the Turing test and some thoughts about what it really means, take a look at Hofstadter's Metamagical Themas column in Scientific American (around Feb. '82). It's also reprinted in his book "The Mind's I" (highly recommended as a thorough, enjoyable, and thoroughly mind-boggling treatment of the whole question of what it means to be a conscious entity. Good luck.) =Ned Horvath=
