"(5) Anti-whale serum gives maximum reactions
only with the bloods of other whales and slight reac-
tions with those of pigs and ruminants."

From page 79:

"(9) These experiments indicate that there is a
close relationship between lizards and snakes, on the
one hand, turtles and crocodiles, on the other. They
further indicate that birds are more nearly allied
with the turtle-crocodile series than with the lizard-
snake series, results for which paleontogical studies
had already prepared us."

"Back-up

Someday, somewhere, somehow, when you least expect it, one of your valuable diskettes will be destroyed. Be prepared: Always keep up-to-date back-up copies."

George T. Thibault, P.E.

"Ralph and I, together with Robert Stoeber and George Black co-founded Digital Learning Systems Inc. The company’s mission was to produce
computer-based tutorial software for personal computer hardware and software manufacturers. The idea for the company came from Ralph and Robert Stoeber’s development of computer-based tutorials for the Apple II computer and VisiCalc spreadsheet for Westinghouse Elevator. The firm’s breakthrough product was a tutorial disk for the IBM PC called Exploring The IBM Personal Computer. This software program was shipped with every IBM PC sold in the USA under a royalty-based license agreement. Ralph is a brilliant programmer, an outstanding project manager, and the most reliable guy I've ever worked with."
