To get the key I went to Bracha Cohen, in charge of teaching in the faculty, and signed a consent form, in which I promise to uphold CS faculty regulations. Since I am not a TA in the faculty, she did me a favor by letting me have the key at all. Duplicating the key would be a breach of trust. I remind you all that before that, we did not have a key at all for years, since both Orr and Alon Altman graduated. -- > Dotan Cohen > > http://gibberish.co.il > http://what-is-what.com > -- Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda. http://ladypine.org
