I love the ampersand. Here's a great article (from Adobe) about it. And another from Wikipedia. I think it's cool that the "&" has gained new uses in programming languages and the like, just as the dwindling-toward-extinction "@" (the "asperand") has become reborn as an addressing "at" symbol on the Web.

For some reason our university typeface standards strictly forbids the use of an ampersand unless it's part of a proper name. They're really het' up about it!
