Suhler) Organization: Univ. of Texas ECE Dept. Lines: 15 From _2001: A Space Odyssey_: The Star Gate opened. The Star Gate closed. In a moment of time too short to be measured, Space turned and twisted upon itself. Then Japetus was alone once more, as it had been for three million years -- alone, except for a deserted but not yet derelict ship, sending back to its makers messages which they could neither believe nor understand. The functioning and history doesn't fit, but the part about message content applies to most news groups. -- Paul Suhler suhler@im4u.UTEXAS.EDU
