If you have something to say to me, please put it in my talk page, not here. Thank you.



My moniker? Swwright = "software-wright", a wright being a "maker, deviser or repairer" (The Chambers Dictionary, Chambers Harrap Publishers Ltd, Edinburgh).


Oh, my gosh, what have I gotten myself into? From a brief perusal of just the topics, it would seem I could spend the next month six months doing nothing but learning how to do anything useful here. Let's see, here's stuff to start out with:

Hello Swwright. Thank you for the copyright information. I am not sure why everyone is having such a difficult time realizing that my father's PAS Stain for Glycogen is not a protected formula. Believe it or not.... once upon a time doctors undertook research to help people, not to make money. My father, J.F.A. McManus was such a man and the only financial advantage he took from his discovery was the status it gave him in the scientific world. That status allowed him to rise in the Universities in which he taught and allowed him to receive grant money for more research. He was not hired by a drug company just as Dr. Salk was not. It is kind of sad that those days of pure science have passed. There have been many good things that have come from the new medical industry, but because of the need to amortize costs across the whole research budget, many exciting drugs and processes are out of the financial reach of those who need them. I am very proud of the fact that every day thousands of people around the world are the beneficiaries of my father's work.Then hospital may charge them for the test, but that is for their time and their facilities; not for my father's royalties. There are none and he never wanted any. Once again, thanks for taking the time to write. Terry McManus
