Well, I thought I had seen it all, but I'll let you judge...
I got this from one of these newsgroups, but I am not sure which one.
http://www.protoscience.com/protobike.html
It's GOTTA BE a joke, but who knows...
The "products" in this WEB site don't even qualify as "vaporware", they are
flat and purely simply "BULL****WARE"
(just read about the "ProtoModem", my GOD this idiot doesn't even have a
clue about FCC regulations!!! )

By the mean time, the only shot at a viable flying car still is:
http://www.aerocar.com

I met this guy personally (he has a hangar full of cool toys at 00V) and it
seems that he is quietly advancing in his concept.
At least seems simple enough and "been there, done that..."

On the www.vranek.ch/aerocar.htm is shown another flying car idea called
Porsche Skymaster. It is a Porsche 911 Turbo car equipped with the wing and
twin tail of a Cessna Skymaster. The pusher prop is driven by the Porsche
(400 hp) engine via an inverted Z-drive. The "aeroplane part" of this
aerocar is easily removable and stays on the airfield while the "car part"
drives to the city....

What? You don't want to do 1 megabit per second plus, on a dialup??? G

Or the open case multi-terabyte hard drive?

The address is Anaheim - maybe they've been spending too much time in the
Magic Kingdom. [Did you notice that you can sign up for "exclusive
territories" as a dealer! Get in on the ground floor. And, looking at
their flying motorcycle, I'd say *ground* is probably fairly accurate.]

Well their drives (which might some day be ugradable at some unspecified cost) to a larger
capacity, aren't priced very competitively to dumb drives of similar specs (running just about
$1/gigabyte for 7200 RPM ATA drives).
