I am a good Canadian, enjoy our programming efforts, and get a kick from the
(apparent) chemistry between Jay and Jill. :)
:) And I even have a good start on a Discovery cap collection ... though
I've been disappointingly unsuccessful in winning a jacket with sleeves made
from the skin of an ungulate, or even having my name listed on T.V. :(

Fascinating! No, I'm afraid I missed that one, David. However, I did find
the brief in PM/Jan '98 re: the creation of matter from light. Unhappily, I
feel a little cheated that they provided so much tease and so little details
in the summary. Maybe a follow-up later in the year.

Yes. Excellent point!
:) I take it, then, that you've read the article entitled: "Is Teleporta-
tion for Real" where its first serious consideration was attributed to a
brainstorming coffee-break at the Universite de Montreal in 1992? If not,
you'll find it in the Archives. Good description of the method. :)
