Mike, >It is very strange, but I feel the urge to trade draining >right out of me--I keep looking at the yard and thinking >about planting primroses and pansies! We have a baby coming in April/May. It'll be the third and we already know it's a girl. The other two are boys. I feel a somewhat similar urge except I'd like to divide my day in three parts. First trading, then growing vegetables and roses, and then playing with the kids. In between, I might get a few hours to study molecular biology and neuroscience. That would make for a very satisfying life. Another interesting thing would be to design virii. I think the day is coming when we'll be able to build a virus with rather specific properties to order and to me, that's one of the most exciting possibilities. Human created bacteria are probably already feasible, but I'm more interested in virii since they can get inside the cell and accomplish a task. The only problem is learning how to program them. In theory, we should be able to do extensive somatic cell surgery using virii. It's just a biological nanomachine after all.... Thanks, Torben P.S. I've only had 1 finger of whisky so I'm not completely off my rocker yet :-)
