Now you've aroused my curiosity, Abelturd. Where are you from? |
Thanks to everyone that responded for making me feel welcome.
As far as my question - I appreciate the help and will pursue the leads and make sure everyone knows what I find out.
ROBOTA: Yes I use it as the Czecks or Hungarians - drudery.
I've been programming industrial robots for a dozen years or so, came across the word one day...
Also, big fan of hard SciFi, Asimov became one of my favorites when I was just a little kid.
Thanks again.
PS: This is my first time in any forum, damned interesting how the conversation diverges.
