Could there be a possibility either to create an ftp-server >or put the stuff onto a WWW server? What a great idea! Tell you what, I'll get started on it straight away! Now, hmm, what will I eat and where will I live and who will pay for my network connection while I do this? More to the point, why isn't this important area of research being pursued with more vigour? NO FUNDING. The Aust Government has already tipped in $100K. Too bad the people who might (might, not will) benefit aren't prepared to cough up a few bucks (for which they get something tangible anyway). I know, I'll write and sell a book (or copies of my PhD thesis)! What a great idea. Now if I can only get people to send an international bank draft for AUD$250 to the Department of Anaesthesia, University of Adelaide I'll send them a copy of my thesis and that will mean I can give up my paper round and put ALL this stuff (and a lot more) on a WWW server and go back to the laboratory! Have a nice Christmas. I'm going diving. /rat ps don't send cards or give presents. Put it all on the net and do the "eco" thing! But wait, my mum doesn't have a network connection.
