This sounds like something the late, great Isaac Asimov might have
written, but I'm not sure.
I don't know how advanced somebody would consider the technology *I*
have to deal with everyday. But I do produce some things that are, at
the very least, indistinguishable. And this doesn't count the numerous
examples of undistinguished things I've produced.
Ok, back to work everybody. (You too, Len.)
