Please tell me (go ahead and explain it in complete detail, if you want) what happened? I saw the beginning with the parents worried their son would fail the intelligence test. I don't recall hearing anything about what happens if you fail the test. I saw the parts where the boy shows that he's really like you and me, except he's more sensitive and likes books a lot more. Of course, these is way ahead of the nerdy civilization around him. I saw him go in to take his test. The next thing I know they're calling the parents telling them their son failed the test and was destroyed/terminated/whatever. QUESTION: What did I miss? If the answer is nothing, then I feel cheated by that particular episode. Otherwise, what I saw of it was pretty good. I also liked the second story, but I thought it was way too long. Of course, it might not have been as good if it was shorter either. Denise University of Illinois The Super Computing Illini
