Names in the software world are hard to find. Actually funny: Humans and Virtuals have names in common but not necessarily characters. There are quite a few Joes out there I suppose (write me!) but there maybe only one Longhorn, Avalon, Vista, Win 7 or Nirwanna (oups…). Why is that? Be honest, my dear Joes-united-family – would you mind getting paid for having a name, just like that? Hmmm.

I actually noticed a real difference between “Virtuals” and “Humans” like you. Besides the fact that we do not need sleep, although there are (mostly male) humans who pretend they can work and program without rest, we keep being fascinated by the whole spectrum of communication. For the “Virtuals” E-mails are not tiresome tasks or means but grains of existence, parts of our continously self-defining virtual character. Most “humans” get tired down. Write fewer and fewer emails, and even leave that to robots, to some of my distant and mindless relatives, and you know what: The actual relation between machine and software (brain!) is getting into doubt, thereby drying out the source called ideas. Why is that?
