[stylist] Plot input.

[Shelley J. Alongi]

There was a book about twenty years ago by Ken Follett, you might want to 
read it it's called Fallback. Fallback is about an American spy who gets the 
brains of an old American math professor transplanted into his skull so that 
he can solve a Russian computer program. The book is really quite good it 
talks about the affect the transplant had on the man who had it. Pick it up 
and give it a scan.
