That was what I thought when I first saw this Subject line. I actually knew that number at some point, 'cause I asked my boss the scientist and he told me, and I put it into _A Point of Honor,_ at the point where the programmer tells the swordswoman that, as you say, nerve impulses travel more slowly than electrical impulses, so that (contrary to popular belief) she *can't* tell whether she's in a VR on a local machine or a remote one. Thank you for providing the data again, so I didn't have to get the book out and try to find it. -- Dorothy J. Heydt Vallejo, California djheydt at gmail dot com
