{FB}Irwin Sobel,
{JUFA} Enclosed is a thesis copy. Like most theses it starts strong
and peters out towards the end.
My plans are to leave the A.I. Lab (officially in March 1975)
and to setup up a place of my own. At the moment, I have a PDP-11/05
with 28K (4K core & 24K MOS), 21 Megabytes of disk, Infoton
keyboard/display, one dectape drive, paper-tape equipment and a
number of contract programming projects which are paying very well
for the amount of work. In a year or two, I hope to have enough
capital, annuities and friends so that my home computer system will
be into television and graphics; otherwise, I will probably abandon
`prostitution programming' and look for an ivory tower job.
I continue to follow neurology and neuroanatomy as an
avocation; I have just read Shepard's ~The Synaptic Organization of
the Brain~ and have a collection of similar paperback books on the
subject (e.g. Katz, Eccles, Guyton, etc). Perhaps someday I will
get around to reading the `Truex and Carpenter' my brother gave me.
Consquently, I am not in an immediate position to take up a new job
on the east coast; but I am still interested in your work and would
appreciate any description you may have of your image processing
problems. My home address is: 18367 McCoy; Saratoga, California; 95070.
I will continue to have a PPPN and a mailbox at the A.I. Lab; but
wouldn't be looking at them everyday.
