Wendy,
Now you are just being silly! lol what time shall I call round?
Dave
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.)
