Follow-ups set to a.b.p.

The edition dated 31st October, so if print is your thing, you have
perhaps a day (or three days if you're lucky) to get a copy.

For the mean among us, the interview is available online.

You know, I've suspected for a while that I don't read NS as thoroughly
as I intend to...

I bought that issue on *Saturday*, and hadn't *noticed* the interview
until you mentioned it! Thanks!

Wikipedia says Daedalus is currently appearing in Nature.

Wow! I didn't know that - Nature is too expensive for me nowadays (as is NS
<sigh>) but I'll check it out - thanks.
