   Recently I had a TALK session with Dave Kristofferson over  Internet,
   and the response time was so good that we decided to  test the FAMAIL
   service from Genbank on a "good day". Yesterday morning I did a test
   run. Here are  the results...  The search was initiated at 11:13 local
   Finnish  time. Three minutes later I sent Dave this mail message at 
   11:16

   Surprise... surprise the results of the search came in at 11:24  which
   gives a turn around time of 11 minutes from California to  Finland. The
   local California time was 02:14 so it would seem  that if you choose
   your time to do searches then the results  are delivered quickly.
