However, for those of you who like <br>science fiction, have the inclination, time, and access to the streaming <br>service, I recommend the series: "3 Body Problem" which is a recent <br>addition to the Netflix. I just learned at our meeting today that this <br>series is an adaptation from a book of the same name. This British <br>production is presented in 8 episodes, each almost an hour long, so time <br>may be a hindrance to some of you.<span style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif'>😉</span> The writers and film makers are <br>well known and respected; the actors are British with many of them of <br>Chinese heritage. Apart from the good acting, cinematography, and <br>production value, my recommendation is based on the liberal and proper <br>use of scientific (particularly physics) concepts and references to <br>well-known scientists. There are images sprinkled in that are current, <br>and the plot has a serious parallel to events that are happening in the <br>world today.<br><br>Hope you enjoy!!<br><br>-Dick<br><br>===============================================<br>::The Lexington Computer and Technology Group Mailing List::<br>Reply goes to sender only; Reply All to send to list.<br>Send to the list: <a href="mailto:LCTG@lists.toku.us" target="_blank">LCTG@lists.toku.us</a> Message archives: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/</a><br>To subscribe: email <a href="mailto:lctg-subscribe@toku.us" target="_blank">lctg-subscribe@toku.us</a> To unsubscribe: email <a href="mailto:lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us" target="_blank">lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us</a><br>Future and Past meeting information: <a href="http://LCTG.toku.us" target="_blank">http://LCTG.toku.us</a><br>List information: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us</a><br>This message was sent to <a href="mailto:s%2Blctglist@smistuff.com" target="_blank">s+lctglist@smistuff.com</a>.<br>Set your list options: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/s+lctglist@smistuff.com" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/s+lctglist@smistuff.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal>===============================================<br>::The Lexington Computer and Technology Group Mailing List::<br>Reply goes to sender only; Reply All to send to list.<br>Send to the list: <a href="mailto:LCTG@lists.toku.us" target="_blank">LCTG@lists.toku.us</a> Message archives: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/</a><br>To subscribe: email <a href="mailto:lctg-subscribe@toku.us" target="_blank">lctg-subscribe@toku.us</a> To unsubscribe: email <a href="mailto:lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us" target="_blank">lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us</a><br>Future and Past meeting information: <a href="http://LCTG.toku.us" target="_blank">http://LCTG.toku.us</a><br>List information: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us</a><br>This message was sent to <a href="mailto:shukong@gmail.com" target="_blank">shukong@gmail.com</a>.<br>Set your list options: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/shukong@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/shukong@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal>===============================================<br>::The Lexington Computer and Technology Group Mailing List::<br>Reply goes to sender only; Reply All to send to list.<br>Send to the list: <a href="mailto:LCTG@lists.toku.us" target="_blank">LCTG@lists.toku.us</a> Message archives: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/pipermail/lctg-toku.us/</a><br>To subscribe: email <a href="mailto:lctg-subscribe@toku.us" target="_blank">lctg-subscribe@toku.us</a> To unsubscribe: email <a href="mailto:lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us" target="_blank">lctg-unsubscribe@toku.us</a><br>Future and Past meeting information: <a href="http://LCTG.toku.us" target="_blank">http://LCTG.toku.us</a><br>List information: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/listinfo.cgi/lctg-toku.us</a><br>This message was sent to <a href="mailto:jam000705@gmail.com" target="_blank">jam000705@gmail.com</a>.<br>Set your list options: <a href="http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/jam000705@gmail.com" target="_blank">http://lists.toku.us/options.cgi/lctg-toku.us/jam000705@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
