------------------
A note on this thread,  though as others have commented it is a frequent 
one.
A professor who is a kidney transplant patient really raised my 
consciousness on this one. I am rather sceptical about extreme hygiene 
(I love the saying "you've got to eat a pound of dirt before you die") 
but there are people in our labs now who do have super-sensitive immune 
systems. They need the cleanest possible environment. So I went out and 
bought some antiseptic wipes--for use on request, though.

We have some 1980s (or 70s?) headsets we use for TV watching that really 
are a stroll down memory lane...
