Indeed... I used to do so much math and "general thinking" in those days, I kept dreaming of giving my highschool math teacher a heart attack just by sending her an email - my first e-address was courtesy of the Washington & Lee U, the _math_ department (my son set it up for me, while taking courses there)... :)
