TALK TO MY CAT
Might man's technology surpass his ability to use it properly? Tell the cat that you saw him on FRONTLINE. (Incidentally, we should note that the cat was NOT hurt when he fell off the table. No animals were harmed in the making of "High Stakes in Cyberspace.")

THE XEROX PALO ALTO RESEARCH CENTER
