...even the greatest marathoner could keep up that pace forever. If the virus reproduced very quickly, it would eventually exhaust the body's defenses. At least that's what Ho and Shaw thought.

...idea that girls don't like computers, don't use them and are not getting the skills they need is not true at our house with its three girls! I like to go on the Internet with my mom. I'd rather have software I can learn from, like Amazon Trail, Treasure Math Storm and all the Carmen Sandiegos.
