              the consequences in terms of how this is going to change ourselves</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.edge.org/documents/archive/edge237.html"><P align="left"><FONT size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><STRONG><A id="endy" name="endy"></A>ENGINEERING
