I guess beliefs are like tastes: one does not discuss them ;-) I can understand people who believe that believing in God is a good thing, but people who believe that living forever is good... :-]]]] Ah well, you didn't say explicitly you believe it's good, just that it's conceivable that some of us may live forever. You're spared ;-) > And then they will no doubt be infuriated by the incapacity to handle > 10^12 equations previewed ! Which basically means that you need expect us to have terabyte hard drives on our desks in next 3 years or so, with a clear road to what --- maybe exabyte -- already plotted ;-)))))))) Unless we go for a binary, compressed lyx format ;-)))))) Alas, terabyte may be quite within reach in 3 years ;-)))) Probably on notebooks within 5 years or so. And the then-current windows version will probably take 10 gigs after installation, plus additional two for setup temp files :-)))))))))))) Okay. That would be fun if we were drinking beer and having fun in a pub. Now I look like talking to myself. Does any of you plan on visiting Ohio? For next 9.5 months (at least ;-) I'm guaranteed to have the second room in our flat still empty, so if somebody takes up on the invitation, there will be more money for beer (whatever you save on the hotel :-).
