The Internet site is http://www.indiana.com/~emiller The statement that automatic machine translation of human language "is not currently available, but the first versions will be available in less than 2 years!" makes be dubious of the whole affair. People have been saying this since the 1950s and it just hasn't happened. Human language translation is a *lot* more complex than looking words up in a dictionary and syntaxt transformations. Bloomington needs real jobs, not a fantasy. As for supporting jobs in Indy, just convince all your fiends who are not already on Prozac that they really would be better off if they were. :) (For non-hoosiers: Prozac is made by Lilly who is based in Indianapolis. If you don't know about Prozac, what rock have you been under?) -john
