Hi!

Subject: Where is Steve Harris?

I have recently noticed that Steve Harris no longer has his Compuserve 
address. If anyone (including Steve!) has an email address for him I'd very
much like to know it.

Subject: using lava.

As I understand it, the main problem with the various substances which 
freeze well below the temperature of water but above that of LN2 is that 
they are flammable. That becomes dangerous if we want to store people in them
for long periods. 

So isn't the clathrate lava proposed likely to be flammable if tried on 
Earth? I personally believe that at some future date (and I don't think the
basic idea of cryonics will ever become outmoded) we'll be able to store 
people in places where the natural temperature is just right ie. somewhere
in the outer solar system (if we are still freezing them rather than using
some other method). If we remain in storage long enough, we might even 
end up being stored that way. But that time is still a long way off.

			Best and long long life,
