Interesting, it looks like the SIRTF telescope *is* going
to be used to conduct a fairly large IR survey [1]. Not
quite as big as what WIRE was going to do but still probably
large enough to pick up MBrains at various temperatures.

The 24, 70 and 160 micron wavebands correspond to temperatures
of 121K, 41K and 18K respectively. Certainly quite interesting
temperatures for moderately advanced MBrains (human body temperature
is 311K).

So let us all hope for a little bit of serendipity.

Robert
