Hi all, I believe that Dr. Maurer has an assistant check his email.  I
also got the impression that his preferred methods of communication
are phone calls and using readers to read letters and emails.  He
dictates most of his written communications after all.  I believe this
has to do with how he grew up.  When he was 20, he didn't have a
computer to use, and that's how he had to complete his work.  I think,
like many, he is doing things the way he is accustomed to.
