Dear Colleagues:

Best wishes for the season to you all on CYTOMETRY. Within a week or 
two  we will move into a new century. I want to wish all of you the best in 
your scientific endeavours and everything you do. 

Cytometry will have some pretty exciting changes coming in 2000. Steve 
has kept us on line now for over 10 years. As a monitored board, this 
means we take a lot of time to make sure the material that gets out is as 
verified as we can make it. Look forward to a new century and some new 
good ideas on the net. For now the new opportunities are a secret!!!!!

I was just thinking last week (I try not to think very often) that everyone who 
is reading this message will have the opportunity of experiencing the 
change of a century....and soon a new milenium. I don't know how that 
makes you feel, but it really is special I think. 

When cytometry as a discipline developed, who would have thought that 
almost 2000 people could be connected around the world instantly via the 
net? 2000 people in the year 2000 will be our goal - we will let you know the 
day the lucky subscriber makes our list and if its a person who goes to the 
Montpellier meeting, I'll take them out to the best restaurant in town as a 
celebration!! We will also have a nice Plaque made for the 2000th 
subscriber which we  will presented at ISAC if we hit the number before 
then which is most likely!!!! 

So, have a good year, do good work, make outrageous new century 
resolutions, have fun and above all continue to enjoy being part of the 
cytometry fraternity - a group of folks who have most definitley made 
significant contributions to science, health and well being in the 20th 
century. 

>From all at Purdue we wish you well for this season and for 2000.
