Well, for one thing, in much of Peru, the climate is oxygen-deficient as a result of the surplus of altitude. Lake Titicaca is at something like 12,500 feet above sea level. Certainly a great place for archeologists, but probably not much for Linux programmers. (Long-time smokers need not apply). I've been watching a series on Cablevision by an NCSU professor of archeology about the Inca civilization and all of the history that came before them. It's truly amazing stuff. I am not only fascinated by the history and accomplishments of the people, but also his explanations of how archeologists do what they do. (Hmmm... maybe he might be able to unravel all of this stuff on my desk.) -- cmg
