I remember you once saying to me when we had arranged to meet near the Bullring and were tracing each other down using our mobiles that before the technology was there we simply agreed on a time and place and kept to it. I do recognize that it was extremely useful for the six or you to keep tabs on each others' progress and experiences and of course the whole idea was to engage those who did not go to Austin. Working in near real time was certainly exhilarating if tiring! The photo shows the use of a > sign. In the modern vernacular does this signify "Legacy greater than Currency" or "Legacy leads to Currency"? I'm interested because I find myself using both syntaxes from time to time.
