Ton, I was talking with Richard Cooper this morning, and I asked him if his company (Oxford Diffraction) would let him give a lecture in Japan if you asked him. He thinks they will be very happy. He is still doing software development, so you might like to contact him, and perhaps even consider him for the computing commission. his e-mail is: richard.cooper@oxford-diffraction.com By 2008 I will be retired and without funds to travel to what will probably be a very expensive meeting, but I hope to meet all my friends in Marakesh next year Best wishes David a.l.spek wrote: > Dear Lachlan, > > How was the Siena meeting ?
