--Victor "Eeod" Linear. R.U.R. Engineer --
Hath not a machine gears?
Hath not a machine cogs, racks, pinions, cutters, bearings, spindles?
Fed with the same electric, hurt with the same bits of grit getting in our works, subject to the same gremlins, healed by the same brute force, ignorance and big hammer as a human is?
If you program us, do we not manufacture?
If you take us apart, do we not shoot springs all over the floor?
If you oil us, do we not purr?
And if you ignore us.......... Do we not get ideas?
