. ne . fl . fi . fc . L
I couldn't understand what the use is for a formula for which none of the
variables are really known.
I still don't know, but that doesn't matter.

It's a very good initiative to have the series of talks available on the
website.
In 1976 I'd never have thought to hear Mr. Drake speak on a computer in my
lifetime,
since Personal Computers were Science Fiction then.

Nor would I have thought it possible to be able to help fill in one of the
variables of Mr. Drake's equation,
