I agree with the comment about German professors generally being reluctant to   
use e-mail, while their junior colleagues are more ready to do so. In fact, I   
occasionally get e-mail from senior colleagues typed into the computer by an    
Assistent/in. Part of the problem lies in the fact that the Informatik people   
tend to control in German universities, and hard wiring or ethernet is still    
rare. Modems at home are a problem due to the Bundespost.
