Oh, this I've _got_ to read. :-)
Thanks for the link to that website.

It's definitely your kind of site. Matt Novak coined "paleofuture," which
is a perfect word.

I've heard of this, but can't remember the.....wait....THE BIG BOOK! Ron

(ten minutes later)
Ah-ha! December 1988! General Dynamics publishes "Planetary Explorer 'The
Emigrant Trail' Special Edition, Volume 49, Number 4, December, 2038."

Bingo! Thanks to you, and thanks to Ron Miller. I have passed this
information on to Matt Novak.
