I was speechless when I saw my friend on there too!!!  I didn't know
he was also an actor!!! :-) :-) :-)

[Actually, my friend is Paul Murray, tech maintainence supervisor (?)
at LBL (Lawrence Berkeley Labs).  Needless to say, Paul e-mailed me
that he was to be on the Nova episode before it aired last year.
Paul was very much the driving force into my excursion in computers
and the industry 17 years ago...!]
