Interesting question to be sure. Chaos theory always struck me in a kind of off the wall fashion as more or less saying something to the effect of... "The truth is there is no truth". Thinking about that truism for more then a few moments, ones mind quickly begins to grasp the true nature of chaos. Humans are, if anything, extremely determined beings. Once we get an idea into our minds it becomes only a matter of time before it becomes realized. I personally have little doubt that sooner or later... perhaps later but none-the-less, the electronic simulation of a piano will exist that will befuddle any blind test contrivable. Grin... but heck... I believe that we will one day be able to do that "beam me up Scotty" thing too.... I have lots and lots of faith in human inventiveness you understand...a lot less faith in some other human qualities...but thats another discussion. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
