My pc has been down since the 11th and hence I've been out of touch since the 10th. BTW, Kevin Brown, due to several misattempts at rebuilding my email from backup, at short intervals of having my system briefly working agin but again soon crashing, I am missing the cryonet if there was one for the 12th and the 19th, if possible could therse be sent again?

And if so can they sublet it to someone else without similar zoning problems and by doing so save something of their revenue? Could the lease be used for storage perhaps of cryopreserved individual's belongings? This may not be the best idea for a non owned and non remotely located building. I only throw it out as a means to spur ideation. >Message #23260 >From: "Basie" <> >References: <> >Subject: Hoffman Trust >Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 16:16:36 -0500 > >I still think gold coins hidden in a national park is a better idea. > All collectibles will be valueless with the coming of replicative technology whether molecular engineering or otherwise. Already the diamond industry sweats the reality that new synthetics are indistinguishible from natural and only by means of the scruples, for the present, of their makers made with marks to indentify as synthetic. A good time to sell collectibles, all of them, would be the week before official announcement of replicative tech. How can one know when this is or be sure to be around and not suspended, let alone the fact one cannot liquidate at the drop of a hat especially some collectibles. Woe to the fine art museum industry.
