signals crossed/entertainment

by doug waud

Hi I was following the WLUG flow of messages with regard to offering/needing equipment when I went on to the next message and did a double-take when the first line came up as "We are in need of a vibratome for sectioning pre-fixed brain tissue," Then I realized the flow of WLUG stuff had stopped and I was now getting stuff from a medical list :-) I guess it's just one of those hazards of having a foot in two dissimilar camps! doug
