I have the entire internet installed in my computer. Also I think Britannica Encyclopedia is a useless software and should be uninstalled.

I have processing from processing.org great for quick java apps to draw cool interactive pictures...

I have freemat a MATLAB clone that's good for quick analysis and charting of data.

I have gedit a gui based editor available on windows, linux and macos.

I have groovy, java and scala installed to explore coding all are java based and work well with java libs.
 


I don't have any softwares installed on my computer, but I have quite a lot of programs.

Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
