Yes, we intended to get a list of molecules with atomic weights above 102 
before we went into the move to Sunnyvale, but we had to go with the 
numbering way too soon.  I suppose there are enough compounds and stuff out 
there with enough different weights that we could have some up with a way to 
go on for as many addresses as we would have liked.

I remember one executive saying, "I want cocaine, give me cocaine."

We also wanted to have xdm login screens and screensavers of each element and 
all that cool stuff.  Never happened, owell.
