Yup, Jeri -- I firmly believe the next big scientific breakthrough has GOT to be teleportation. Well, Peter, I sure hope you can make it next year!
El Greko, I would be happy to pick you up at BWI if you don't want to wait for Gary. Let's see, 16:15 is 4:15 in time-I-can-understand, and 17:30 is 5:30. That's the middle of rush hour, of course, but one can make allowance for that -- I should be able to show up there at about 5 p.m. I have a station wagon, and could probably accommodate two people and their stuff (within reason), so anyone else who needs a ride from BWI about that time should PM me, and we'll work it out.
