Well, it says right here [in a book in my personal collection] that the propagation of
light is accomplished through a medium called the "ether".  :-)

My dictionary says a museum is "A building used for storing and exhibition
of objects...". Not much exhibiting going on in this "museum". I think a
museum is only a museum if the public can go there and see the physical
objects. I don't think a web site can be a museum, unless the "objects" are
software or other purely digital artefacts.

Rob
