Rocky Mountain News: Opinion 'As a student in Montreal (nearly six hours from Toronto), I frequently work with other students from Toronto who often travel home, and faculty who sometimes commute between the two cities. A professor who lives and works in downtown Toronto has said that during the duration of the SARS crisis he has seen only one person in public wearing a mask. No one to date in Toronto has contracted SARS from being out in public socially.'
How cool is this?! April wrote a letter to the editor of the main paper in Denver. BTW, I still haven't seen anyone else in TO wearing a mask! But I saw on the news last night that tourism was down here and in other cities in Canada. Halifax! Hello? Toronto's a hell of a lot closer to Buffalo and Detroit than Halifax!

Data speed record crushed
Streaming across The Pond [The Register] 'The researchers sent one terabyte of data from Sunnyvale, California to Geneva in less than an hour.
