Yes that was fun but let's not laugh too much at ideas which sound sci-
fi now but may well be feasible in 20 years...I'm only 35 yest I've
witnessed changes in technology which as a child would have sounded as
crazy as Star Trek's transporter. And BTW, sometimes reality even goes
beyond fiction. Not even Captain Kirk had a lap top!! LOL
