reunion was joyous. "I used to really wonder how useful something like

Caolionn O'Connell debates

Gordon Watts notices
that many physicists are finally opening up to HTML-formatted e-mail,
after years of hanging on to text-only programs. "I'm looking forward to
email and particle physics coming out of the 70's!" he writes.
