Recently I had a TALK session with Dave Kristofferson over Internet, and the response time was so good that we decided to test the FAMAIL service from Genbank on a "good day". Yesterday morning I did a test run. Here are the results... The search was initiated at 11:13 local Finnish time. Three minutes later I sent Dave this mail message at 11:16 > #133 16-OCT-1990 11:16:34.19 !!!!!

The local California time was 02:14 so it would seem that if you choose your time to do searches then the results are delivered quickly. > #135 16-OCT-1990 11:24:04.00 !!!!!
