Hi!

Excuse me, but what relation does the battle between Macs and PCs have to 
cryonics? For what it's worth, I've used Macs, PCs, and now own both a PC
and a ... shock, horror! ... Apple IIGS(which is powerful enough to have 
a Mac GUI). But I still don't see their relation to cryonics.

Is Dr. Stodolsky proposing that we become reincarnated as a Mac or PC? I hope

not: neither one has enough power, not to mention their lack of other 
abilities.Will they be used to help bring us back? Well, by that time I expect 
that 
we will have very powerful highly parallel computers to do the computations
needed. Just what user interface they might have is an interesting question.
Macs and PCs both will be seen as antiques and appear in museums, along with
astrolabes and other such equipment. They aren't even powerful enough to do the
calculations really needed for nanotechnology!

			Long long life,

				Thomas Donaldson
