Hi all.
The story Can of Wormholes, sent to the list in February as Alternatron 
D11, is going in the next Nature Physics. I have never seen this on a 
magazine stand, but maybe it's around somewhere. They just sent me a 
page proof.

Here's an excerpt from my response to the proof:

The art work is attractive and it captures the airhead pretty in pink 
world of the universe hopping girl, but there's a small issue. Nobody is 
going to care except geeks like me. But the Confirm, Transfer and Enter 
keys are all separate. This is implied in the text, but is also a widely 
understood property of geek devices. Still, it's hardly likely your 
journal will be read by anyone with geek tendencies.

The artist had a button with Confirm Enter written on it, and another 
with Transfer Enter on it. This is presumably an artist doing the art on 
a computer workstation. I don't know. Honestly I don't.
