I'm with Chuck. If Phys-L goes to the Web, I'll never see it again. I have
thousands of sites bookmarked and almost never go back to them, even the
ones I know I should because I know I'll get valuable new info from them.
There are just too many distractions, and getting the Phys-L postings
directly to my inbox, is the only way I could keep up with them, or
occasionally have somthing to contribute.

Let's face it. People use a Mac because they want to, Windows because they
have to..
