By that reasoning, anything that Mathematica fails to do yet is computable ( by a Turing machine, say) can be done with Mathematica but using a different approach. Have Mathematica simulate a Turing machine, and then the user can write the program to solve the problem. The nice part of this reduction is that Mathematica can never be faulted. It is always the user's fault for using the wrong approach. RJF
