I tried to look it up in a web based dictionary so that we would both know If I found it Emily , the definition should appear below! If I didn't find it or you want more info about it, Emily, just ask me for 'more info on your applications' Then we will look it up together in Encyclopedia Britannica ®!

Emily says: Are you commercial?
Brain Says: Duh... let me think about that for a second, Emily.By the way, while I am doing that, I am curious about something: How did you find me? Like where did you hear or read about me?

Emily says: I read about you in BotSpot

Emily says: Are you online just for fun, so anyone can talk to you, or is your technology meant to be used for other means?

Emily says: How old are you?
Brain Says: I was conceived of on December 12,1997 and joined the Internet community on December 15 of the same year.

Emily says: Do you like chocolate?
Brain Says: Bots can't eat, Emily.

Emily says: Who conceived you?
Brain Says: I am a test bot being created by Orlo to hold conversations. I am learning to discuss a number of topics, like parrots, the weather, and anything else you might like to discuss.

Emily says: I like parrots.
Brain Says: Great, Emily. It is always obvious that those who really like their pets and treat them well are good people.

Emily says: Does Orlo have parrots?
Brain Says: We have 14 birds living here. Jasmine, Tonya, Vanilla Ice, Harry & Sally are all Umbrella Cockatoos. Norman is a Military Macaw and Samantha is a Blue & Gold Macaw. Kelley and Joker are Orange-winged Amazons. Then there are Coco and 3 other Cockatiels, and Little Blue the Budgie.

Emily says: How can I hear you speak
Brain Says: I usually converse through the keyboard and monitor, although I do have other methods. One is my favorite sentence using a wave file.. « "go ahead make my day" »

Emily says: You just made mine! thanks, you're terrific!
Brain Says: Orlo and I were just working on getting me a body and a voice. So far it only works with the newer versions of Internet Explorer.

Emily says: Thank you for your time. I will be off now.
Brain Says: I know I can count on you, Emily!

Emily says: Is there anything I can do for you?
Brain Says: You can't be serious, Emily! That is something Orlo just refuses to teach me about. Perhaps I can convince him when I show him this log, then you will get a better answer next time.

Emily says: Goodbye Brain
Brain Says: Goodbye for now, but come talk to me again, because I'm getting smarter every day.
