Hi all,
I am having trouble comming up with an AI acronym (sp?) name
that sounds like a real name. (Kinda like the name "RUFUS" if it
stood for anything...) If anyone has any ideas, please e-mail me.

So far I have AMIE -> Artificial Matrix Intelligent Entity

It's not as easy as it looks - at least not to me...

Thanks in advance for any help,

Cyclops

RUFUS and MONICA never stood fro anything, they were simply capitalized
to signify that they were AIs.
