Sure, I can take my time, maybe put off pre-med until after college and then add two more years to the already too-long trek to medical school. Why not grab a last minute Ph.D. in European history...
...Silicon Valley start-up, has invented an innovative product called SkyWriter that includes an onscreen keyboard and a thumb-guided cursor for pecking out and transmitting messages. It works: five minutes after a Time reporter first picked one up, he managed to create and send E-mail--while navigating rush-hour traffic. How good is the technology?

But the fire occurred while Schliemann was out of town, and a month earlier than the report said...
