		<description>In 1982, we were using log books
in 1992, I had a copy of Mathematica on my desk top.  Amazing.  
(got degree in Mathematics from Brunel Uni,  UK)

Going from log books, to Mathematica in 10 years, sooooooo exciting

Then, spent 18 years in Mathematica wilderness
But now a new project is underfoot
AI. learning machines etc.


With oil running out,  we are not going to be able to feed population
So, need better farming technology to combat famine
Farms of the future will use Robots to farm land, will not need petrochemical fertilizers

The next agricultural revolution is going to happen
It will be Robot farming,
It is through this, that we can feed worlds population


Anyway,  starting off with learning mathematica (again)

just started an AI course at standford on line
lecturer recommended Octave software.

this made be so mad.  Octave in 2011, cannot do 90% of what mathematica  could do
20 years ago.

A big joke.


Thanks for an excellent product.
Still the best.</description>
