Was expecting to read about the IBM Verse pilot :-)
Low blow. ;-)
They don't make people like they used to.
Or did society decide that all that stuff is too dangerous.
Thanks - what an interesting life (not that I would want it) and fascinating how much Winkle experienced. Well worth going to bed one hour later
