I usually arrange the entrance to the Technion. Going through the fine archives, I see that nobody requested ahead of time to arrange entrance. I will try to contact lecturers from now on, to ask if they need entrance to the Technion. Thanks for letting me know that this may be a problem. > That projector isn't exactly national security...

However, if it is not known that I should be contacted, that is a problem! Additionally, there is no place to store such a duplicate key for the projector. There are no "regulars". -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com _______________________________________________ Haifux mailing list Haifux@haifux.org http://hamakor.org.il/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haifux
