Mark >>An aside; As DAK would suggest, I think at least, the quality of most bread today probably has suffered too, suggesting maybe a negative hedonistic adjustment may be in order.) This is so true. Now that I am retired I bake most of the bread we eat. I have my grand mothers recipe and can still get flour ground from North Dakota wheat (Dakota Maid) which is the highest in protein content and milled the old fashion way - not like general mills or those other flour names known to man. If you take a close look at the labels on the bread you buy today you would not eat it. Joan

re nano-tech -- I would encourage you to get a copy of the article -- not avail online unfortunatly Sept 2001 Sci Am -- Richard Smalley -- Of Chemistry, Love and Nanobots BY RICHARD E. SMALLEY A Nobel Prize winner explains why self-replicating nanomachines won't work. Most of the folks whipping the hype about this have no practical experience in chemistry, physical or other. What do scientist really have now as far as self-organizing replicating systems at this level?? Bucky-tubes, bucky balls -- they can do a lot of fun stuff with AFM and ESM, but aside from living things this stuff just doesn't happen. Biotech will be MUCH, MUCH bigger ... Read that article -- their are real impediments to the fanciful dreams used to sell stocks. <ng>
