It got Dubya very quickly, Margaret thatcher even quicker.

Even got Michael from Alan Partridge!

-edit

I thought i'd confuse it and choose Desmond Ambrose from that old ancient show Desmonds. It guessed correctly. :-o

Nellie Boswell and Tony Blair too.

Does anyone remember a slightly similar self-learning, kinda hold a basic text conversation, AMOS program on the Amiga? I vaguely remember this from about 12 yrs ago. It was a two way thing where the user would type something in and the computer would try to respond. It would learn by word associations and frequencies from the users input. You started with long "Hello" "Hello" type conversations but it got better! Its been bugging me for ages what it is!

P.S.Why have so many people tried Only Fools "Albert" (about 70) compared to "Rodney" (only about 30)? Seems strange!

I did something like this with linked lists in Pascal back in school. Lots of fun until someone enters some senseless drivel for a question and screws up the database.
