It's helpful to have a friend or neighbor meet your guests and show them the basics: how to use the vcr, where the vacuum cleaner is. You'll want them to do the same on their end.

But for more than a decade, researchers have been learning to overcome these problems, figuring out ways to heal damaged cords and switch the power back on in spines long since gone dead. Even if Reeve and others don't walk by 2002, there is no limit to what may happen in the decades that follow.
