Sir Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 greeting



Following is an e-mail greeting sent by Sir Arthur C. Clarke on Jan. 1, 2001, to those who had sent him messages as the new year arrived:




Dear Friends,
Just to say 'Thank you!' for the thirty email greetings received overnight! As you can imagine I have received scores during the last week and can't possibly reply to them all, though I have dealt with any specific queries that have come up.
Anyway, all best wishes for 2001 - although I am now completely confined to a wheel chair, boredom is not going to be a major problem - see attached schedule.

HAPPY NEW MILLENNIUM!

Arthur Clarke, 01.01.01
