>>>>>[Aztech's ES's are good, but the problem is that Aztech's real goal
is to design a viable AI. The ES's are all designed to achieve that goal.
Yoshida's ES units were designed from the start to be a stepping stone
towards AI, and is why we were able to market them for mass sales while
Aztech, who has equally viable ES units, ignores the market and continues
research towards AI.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Yes, but not with nearly the budget or manpower of the larger
corporations. I personally don't see a viable AI construct being
developed for at least 15 years, perhaps much longer. I can't say too
much without compromising certain aspects of our research, but, if you
read the industry info-zines, you will know that our research is currently
working on tying dirrerent ES together and then getting them to talk to
each other with a single, overshadowing ES.]<<<<<

that is not connected to any outside LTG. In addition, I have more than
enough confidence in out security measures.]<<<<<
