Some of my best runs have been in the rain. Of course, so have some of my worst. As for the jetpack, why not go electric? http://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/features/pu...

Brad.
The Jetpack IS here (well, in New Zealand anyway)! http://www.martinjetpack.com
They are looking for investors, too! Happy to introduce you. Perhaps you can be the first to fly it in the USA.

Brad,

I wonder how many people would even notice the typo in your post above, transposing "Western Digital" for the now long gone Bell manufacturing arm "Western Electric."

The ad is for Western Electric, not Western Digital, no?

Sorry, it's the nitpicky editor in me.

True. I had one of the Asus' for the past year. I've been a Skype user for a while but noticed that it suddenly became a mainstay of my communication within the past few months.

Actually, you are catching up to the present.

I've had a video phone on my desk for almost a year now. I have the Polycom VVX1500, works great. As a Skype user, you may prefer the GrandStream. It also can display your Google Calendar and go thru your Flickr account for a screensaver.
