Remember that Mac add where the people think of a "heliocar" and turn it from a napkin-drawing into a video? "Creative" stuff? I found it amusing to learn that such a device was prototyped in 1940. Basically, an autogiro with wings that could be folded back to allow it to be driven down a street like a car. G'Day! -- Darren

G'Day! -- Darren Was it patented? Was the name trademarked? If so, I suggest the creators (or their heirs) sue for violation of the "look" and "feel" of a helocar. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Bevis Purdue Univeristy School of Electrical Engineering bevis@en.ecn.purdue.edu Give me Amiga or nothing at all.
