actually raymond, frank is a simulation. hes our first effort at artificial intelligence. we plan on selling him to the military which is why his linguistic modalities skew towards militaristic terminology. but we thought he might also be useful in university settings, thus the literary bent as well. you mock the commodore 64 but it will make me rich yet. our friend jim swears by his apple 2+ so you can imagine what sort of interface problems we have. (how could they not have a tape cassette port? that company is doomed to failure.) were worried what sort of bugs might get loose in the system as a result of our incompatibility. thats why we must constantly delouse our "child." our greatest concern as all science fiction will tell you is once he breaks free from those "primitive postures" will he have no further use for his creators. how soon before were the primitives. really, if keanu reeves is the hope for mankind, i think were all in trouble.
