Actually last week we were interviewing some great US & UK applicants for a job, but
none were as famous as you Leigh  ;)

Doing the CD-ROM was an interesting experience. We produce them routinely for our
courses, but this one was written in Melbourne, replicated in Pennsylvania, packaged
in Montana and placed in the magazine in Virginia, so I learnt more about
international finance and the joys of urgent communications between totally
orthogonal time zones than I really wanted to know! However it worked out ok, and we
are getting lots of course enquiries, which is great. Sky & Telescope were great to
work with.

Cheers
Margaret
