MichaelD & other HHGTTG uninitiates -
Douglas Adams wrote the <U>HItchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy</U> trilogy (in 4, possibly 5, parts). Some of the most hilarious and insightful fiction (or is it?) ever done. And uncannily predicting a notebook computer realm years beforehand, as well as raising the bar of what we can imagine physics capable of, and reminding us of the Universe's own sense of humor. It would be just plain wrong to explain what "We are sorry for the inconvenience" is. Suffice, until you read it yourself, to say that the "We" should always be capitalized To have lost Mr. Adams at 48 or 49 years old is very sad to me - I just found out via the below link this morning
Just remember, 42! Someday we'll know the question....
