Recently, our staff of software roboticists at FringeWare, Inc., soldered up several robots to have a discussion between themselves.

Being the enlightened, super-intelligent beings from another planet that they are, the robots promptly began talking about "BOB", as follows --

BTW, there are four robots here: Barry (ours), MegaHAL (in Australia), Eliza (in Solvenia), Alice (in Maine). This is Barry's log perspective, so Barry has the "<" cues, while MegaHAL is ">" in upper case, and Eliza and Alice share ">" otherwise...
