Lansing: Sigh. It must be soo booring to live in the middle of the country. Those of us on the right coast are very attuned to the use of psychoactive software, even though it is in greater use on the left coast. That's because the left side of the brain is the intuitive side. You poor guys in the middle get left out completely, lost somwhere in the netherland of intuitively analytical wishywashydom. Psychoactive software came about expressly for the use for those of us who ask our dealers questions like "why does my drawing crash when I poor beer on the keyboard?" and we get the response "I'll have to check with California". This creates a severe pain in the region of the center of the brain and causes blackouts and changes in professions. Once the condition is corrected by the change in profession, generally in the exciting new use of computers using a word processor to write children's books, the residue from the use of ACAD and the search for logic in the menu structure of the wordprocessing program causes relapses. This is where psychoactive software comes into play. The user attempts to understand what it is that he has just spent the last four hours writing and comes to the conclusion that he can't understand what he is reading. (i.e. he's not getting what he sees). Through the use of psycoactive software, the words that he wrote are translated into what he was thinking. (i.e. what you think is what you get.) This once thought revolutionary concept got placed on the back burner because everyone came to realize that no one wanted to know what it was that anyone was really thinking. They only wanted to know what they thought about what the other person seemed to be thinking. Got it? Craig. .
