John,<br>
After I first thought up my nutty GA scheme, I was then astonished by
the John Holland Scientific American artifcle. I was aghast that anyone
could even imagine thinking along those lines with 1960's hardware, as
he had done.<br>
<br>
I got my first working version done on a 386 (daughtercard on a 286 motherboard) with one and a half MB.<br>

<div>Very thought provoking article, and took me back to thinking about genetic algorithms,</div>
<div>a subject I flirted with 20 years ago. I didn't find it worthwhile on a Sparc1 system with a whopping 2 Mbytes of RAM.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I guess I should encourage responses to be made on the Linux Mag site.</div>
