We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. You could hear the simulated crowd chant 'NOVA! NOVA!' between songs, but her eyes were always looking slightly past the lens. Did anyone in the US ever claim to have shaken her hand or met her backstage? -- Steve Andersson -- Stanford University Computer Systems Lab "A soul is not exclusive to biology."

We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop. A physical body that could be touched never existed. The broadcast was a real-time holographic synthesis fed from the Burbank basement. -- Yuki Karlsson SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 33,600 bps "Do not worship the copy."
