Excuse me, but please don't dismiss those of us without laptop computers in
the field here!! I plan to observe Leonids, and will not have computer
access at the time...
However, I do hope to use a rather old-fashioned method of communication -
the telephone!! ;>> I will at least try to get word to somebody who can
pass on a message...
So please don't count us out Pierre just because some of us don't have the
latest in technology! ;>>
Clear skies,
