The one chance I got to speak to him one of his hangers-on spent the whole time trying to hard sell me on the CDs. I found it all a little frustrating.<BR/><BR/><B>I don't think there are any blank spaces.

A bioborg differs in that they are like Briareos in Appleseed or Major Kusanagi of Ghost in the Shell: humans whose bodies--possibly even the brain--have been completely replaced. <BR/><BR/>Cybots are the original cyborgs, as defined by Clynes and Kline. <BR/><BR/>Robodroids are like the 'skinjob' Cylons of Battlestar Galactica (minus the 'final five') in that they are completely artificial, but indistinguishable from humans in nearly every test. They have fleshy parts made with DNA, even if their ultimate origin is nonbiological.Golgotha Kinslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169602559573096423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-91216719647501665242009-02-15T14:36:00.000-06:002009-02-15T14:36:00.000-06:00Did you get to talk to Mr. Miller at all?
