Hi Ultra Lucille,
I'm glad you enjoyed the story. My own thoughts are that either the SM 3000 was flawed or else Wells made an input error, but the story is certainly open to other interpretations.
Somehow, sexual orientations aside, I couldn't see anyone with Tempus' personality being with anyone with Jimmy's personality for very long. The two go together like peanut butter and jellyfish. (Tempus, of course, being the jellyfish.)
Joy,
Lynn
