I'm sure you are right. But I referenced a molecular drawing program to illustrate some big, complex molecules, even available as a linux screensaver. And I suggested how such molecular electro-optics could play a role in new roofing and energy needs. What scientists do now to create housing, food, energy, environment will be life and death to many. One would think everybody could agree science education is vital. But I realize lawyers can talk best of friends into a conflict. There might be one or two TCLUG members who consider innovative fiber glass roofing incorporating dye solar collection and light piping. I already have "solar biofuels" and "biochar" sold, I'm just suggesting where the solar might come from. Iznogoud wrote: > xlock is way cool.
