Hmmmm, I wonder how dated this is given that the release date
was May 1979?
Now, of course this brings up a question that has to be asked.
There is a story -- I'm not sure if its in the archives or whether
it was related to me personally. I'm reasonably certain that it
was a comment by one New England extropian about another New England
extropian (I'm being courteous here and not naming names). The general
sense of the quote was something to the effect of -- "You should be very
careful in your dealings with this person -- he could be a *very* dangerous
individual." (My general interpretation of the story was that you don't
want to cross someone who could make your life miserable for hundreds or
thousands of years.)
So Anders -- since you just *happen* to have *that* URL so handy
what should we assume about you?
R.
Also, do you happen to have a DVD player yet?
