Hi Fred,
  Your posting of Kurt Vonnegut's commencement address at MIT was funny but
incorrect. Kurt Vonnegut never addressed MIT nor did he write those words.
It was attributed to him by some unknown internet posting. The speech
sounds so much like him though, that his own wife actually forwarded it by
email to others, thinking that he had actually written it, but Kurt was
pretty angry about it.  He has very strong opinions about the internet,
none of them good.
