Because native plants are well adapted to the regions in which they grow, they require little in the way of care. They seldom, if ever, need watering, and they tolerate insect pests as well as extremes of heat and cold. They are, for the most part, resistant to disease, and will flourish without chemical fertilizer. By contrast, says John Dromgoole, who runs the Garden-Ville nursery in Austin, "poorly adapted plants put gardeners on a chemical treadmill, a treadmill we're trying to help them get off."

Despite all the heat in the microprocessor industry, most users need not be concerned since many of the new systems will be able to run software written for rival machines...
...solitary life-style. Says Brett-Surman: "They certainly wouldn't have turned somersaults across the landscape." As for the giant herbivores, which would have required hundreds of pounds of vegetation a day to sustain their enormous bulk, they might have had their own unique metabolism fueled by the heat given off by nonstop digestion...
