Abstract
Some examples are given which cast some light on such questions as: What (if any) constructive sense can be made out of typical nonstandard measure existence results? Can NSA give any insight into constructive measure theory?
The author is grateful to the organizers for inviting him to this meeting, as well as to Nigel J. Cutland, who was his host at the University of Hull during the Spring 1999 academic semester.
