See if you can get Devon, plus the people worried about privacy etc., to get their act together.

- DonHopkins 11y agoI remember running across a Turing machine emulator implemented in TECO in Minsky's home directory that I'd REALLY love to get ahold of.

When I wrote the following Universal Turing Machine, which works, I actually understood it.

- DonHopkins 11y agoOOP ACK! It was a shot in the dark, but I am SO GLAD I asked!!! Thank you Harold! It looks just like I remember. ;)
