Since we're asking for the moon, what I want is a robot in the form of a
person who will take me wherever I want to go, guiding me round and
explaining everything I want to know. I also want a flying car which would
avoid traffic jams and get me from A to B as the crow flies. Well, this is
the access UK list, and if everything was as accessible as we would like it,
it would become the access world list.

Ah but what I'd really like is a robotic machine with onboard speech that
could cook. Now that would be just fab for it to call me from the kitchen
door and say: "Jack, come and get your grub." (smile.)
