Yeah, that he said two years ago. But then the only thing you see is one version
after another of the simple stuff, non special ting, and none of the big one. If
the big one is the real one, then you would expect, on the contrary, more effort
in that that in the "simple program". Of course always you can say he is
secretively working in that. Like Frankestein in his castle. Well, hope it is
so.
