John

You are quite correct - I did not intend to send that note to the list but
just to Jon Paris, whom as an IBMer, I assumed would know about a very
famous former IBM employee (or was it consultant?) - I goofed!

In a subsequent response to the list (Re: its not just the box dummy - its
just a house of cards) to an original post by Scott Cornell (Computerworld
Article - it's not just the box dummy), I did explain who von Neumann was. 
I myself have not read The Computer and the Brain although I have heard
others mention it. Perhaps I should seek it out.

Thanks for pointing out the error of my ways.
