However on Orac being sentient, I can imagine a quip from Avon to Vila. Avon: I'm not sure you're sentient, you have to be conscious. That would only count you as pasr-time sentient. Vila: (to Avon) at least I'm warm-blooded. Avon: More 100% proof.

I figured they were working from Vila's diary when it came to Lord Restal and the Virgin Meeghat. But why would he claim that Avon wore white?

I experienced the same phenomenon myself. I think you had to open the attachment itself to be fully affected. I checked with some of my email contacts to see if they'd receivd anything resembling this message, but they hadn't, so I assume I got lucky, too. But my system isn't old, it's fairly up to date. I just wish these virus-writing idiots would get theier smug heads out of their arses and find something more worthwhile to occupy their time. Mel Saxby --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Orac

One argument for Orac being sentient - it appears to have a sense of humour - the 'I am not a rodent in a box' line and 'Ultraworld'. If asked whether it considered itself sentient, what would Orac's reply be?
