In the past months we have suffered computer, freezer and equipment failures, as well as the commonplace difficulties due to transport the like. I am forced to conclude that, just as two one legged men do not make an Olympic 100 metre champion, networking multiple poorly resourced laboratories will achieve little. Many thoughts on modernisation appear to centre on networking and parallel working. If one element is weak the others will be put in jeopardy. Investment in networks should not, I suggest, be seen as an alternative to investment in their component parts. Trevor Tickner, Norwich (With apologies to those outside the UK) P.S. My allusion to those with only one lower limb is not intended to disparage. While there are many talented but disabled sportsmen, two combining other than in a team event would lead to disqualification. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the named recipient(s).
