[On Richard Feynman]

>OK, he wasn't a computer scientist, but it's interesting anyway.

Actually he was, in later years.  He did some consulting for Thinking
Machines.  I saw a TV programme where one of the people at TM talked
about Feynman's work with them.  Apparently Feynman proposed an
improved architecture for the machine after doing some maths that
involved the number of 1s in the computer.

Paul.
