Or something like that. I've never agreed with this in connection with matter transportation. (Something like, is the Dr. McCoy on the planet the same Dr. McCoy who left the ship?) Matter and energy are, after all, completely equivalent. ("Yeah" for Albert Baby!) So, if McCoy's matter is converted to energy, radiated elsewhere, and reconvert to matter...it's the same McCoy - assuming the matter matrix is recreated exactly. Right? (please say yes, or I'll be crushed...) -- Rob MACC
