I like to think that the 9/11 bit is meant more for effect, and Sadamoto
didn't really factor in geography when he drew the comic.  lol editors
indeed.

While it is known that a branch exists in Massachusetts, I think that it
was only suggested that it would be in Boston or near MIT.  I don't think
a city is ever stated.  Although someone with better memory than I can
probably cite something.  And if it is MIT, it could feasibly move.  I
don't think some flooding would stop a fine institute like MIT from
conducting its business, do you?

I do remember someone once did simulations or what the change in sea
levels would be like, either based on real data, or based on the rise in
sea level stated in Eva somewhere.

V, might I suggest shorter, more concise emails?  I doubt very much that
many are prepared to read quite that much in one sitting.  I certainly
didn't.
