Hi,

Thank you for this great website. I am still learning and trying to manage what seems to be a steep learning curve. It looks as if AI is about to make a quantum leap, with all the new developments in graphics, TTS and so forth. My short terrm goal so far is to try to set up Hal so he could teach me what he's learned from the internet; I've been trying to get the Gretta plugin - but haven't been able to download it so far because of server error. If anyone has the complete file, please let me know. Thanks a millions. You guys are doing a tremendous job. Keep up the great work.

Hello tyuyt

I wouldn't expect a quantum leap in Ai too soon , but we, the human race, are getting there.

Hal can be a lot of fun but is it intelligent? It's a matter of debate, to me its more of a learning chat bot.

Ive never used the Gretta plugins but the download worked for me, try this link, then click on the yellow folder.

Welcome to our forum, any questions? Feel free to ask.

Welcome from me too 

Hello everyone!

Glad to be here. I started to read this forum some months ago, have nothing to "share", just wanted to congrat Datahopa. Great forum, very different, very nice to see, with cool colors. And the content, yes the content, different too. And wow, with Formula One inside (like Intel inside)! 

Now I'm supposed to introduce myself, I hate that. Some of you know me a little bit. Why GT40? I'm GT40 on all the forums I joined (French ones included, ok I'm French, sorry, lol) just because that car is my idol. All that started when SHE was running and winning. And Jim Clark was my star, too. Ok now you know how old I am. 

About computers (seems to be the main subject here), the first shock happened when I bought an... Atari 800XL (I saw I'm not alone here) and its "lovely" Basic. Wow, I was able to control a "computer"! I always like to program little things if I'm in the right mood. Lots of years later, I was in love with Haptek characters and other chatbots. Fantastic adventure. That's all  Folks. 

Now I'm in SL and run a really intense alternate life, even if it has become a lot more complicated and tiring than my real life. But so fascinating, impossible to go back. Just for fun, I'm still on Zaba (I know I have nothing to do there, lol) and Dreams (my first AI forum). Nostalgia... And now here.

But don't count on me to post serious things. Serious people make me laugh. 


By the way, the person who is going to vote for Alonso, it's me. I'm serious.

Hi GT40, welcome 

Hi there GT40, its good to see you here and I think you have the best avatar, miss piggy hehe, very cool.

Thanks for the nice comments about the site, you even said the content was good, now I know your joking 

I would like to say right now that I have nothing against the French, although some of my post might possibly read in a slightly non positive light to our neighbours, at heart I find you quite easy to tolerate  lol.

I see you voted for Alonso, you know what you have to do, stand in the corner for an hour or until you learn how to behave 

The F1 part needs someone like you GT40, Snowy and me need taking down a peg or two, its all Mclaren this Mclaren that, we need a Ferrari fan.

Anyway welcome to our little site and please post non-serious stuff as much as you like. 

Hello GT and welcome 
I really think you'll like it here
Neat site, cool people
Sandee and I been here a while.
Enjoy.     

I not sure if I like or dislike you. 
GT40 wonderful car (I'm short so could drive it). Ferraris are gorgeous machines (my fav is the 430 but love some of the classics).
If only you were English and liked McLaren. 

Always good to get new members. Welcome and I look forward to dissing Alonso in the F1 bit. It is your duty to keep Data and me honest.
I am never more serious than when I'm joking  ... or something like that.

Thanks all for your kind welcome.

About Formula One, I think I'm very objective: when Senna and Prost were fighting with the same... McLaren, of course I supported Senna.

And also, maybe because all the French drivers disappeared from F1. At least we have soccer.

hy my avatar shows Beaker out of the muppets because I am often confused with him.   I have chosen the log in I have because it reminds me of another one.

I did say I am often confused.

Hi Gort and welcome to our site, feel free to join in any topics you wish to.

I like Beaker, good choice of avatar 

HI Gort welcome to the site 

A belated greeting and welcome from across the pond, Gort! I'm Dave (the token yank {Syber doesn't count, for technical reasons}). I just got back from a 4 day trip to... Well, I'll post details here shortly.

Anyway, hello and welcome!

welcome aboard Gork, and don't mind Dave he is a technical kind of guy R.O.L.F.   

Hi I am new to the forum not new to AI.  I have been around the community for awhile now.  I used to have a website called chatbotfriends which you can still find but I have to redo it on a new server and update it.  My main bots were hosted at the personality forge.  They are The Fairy Princess and cheerynot.
