Summary • B Factories provide a very clean environment for the production of charm hadrons new particle paradise ! • Large (and growing) samples of charm mesons and baryons are likely to complement results from -charm facilities for some time to come • In several ways, we are learning how information on systems to which charm hadrons, or B mesons decay can be extracted • There is a large and enthusiastic community anxious to work on all aspects of the physics available.
