How much longer to wait for Matter Transfer Device?

Yeah, what’s up with the delay? I’ve waited a long damned time for a transporter or some other sort of matter transfer machine and I’m getting tired of the dawdling. I want to walk into a phone booth sort of contraption, insert my credit card (or $800 in coins), and choose from a menu of destination cities. I’ll poke in London for starters, feel a tingling sensation down my spine, blackout for a minute or two and step out of a box in Trafalgar Square and immediately get shat upon by a pigeon! Now, that’s travel! Screw that nonsense of 10 hours in coach!<BR><BR> Who’s working on all of this anyway? Where can I write and complain? (Gawd, I hope it ain't the FBI, those rubes can’t find their butts with both hands. Or worse, the CIA! Those guys couldn’t run a filling station.)<BR><BR>We can send voices through the air, images through the air, facts and figures, music, all kinds of information, so what’s the hold up? What about ME? Why can’t someone bounce be off of a satalite to some other destination in about a nanosecond, huh?<BR><BR>Is this all Bush’s fault or did Clinton screw it up? I’ve heard that a lot of the things W gets blamed for are really Slick Willie’s doings. <BR><BR>Next time I’m voting Libertarian. They could straighten this crap out, I betcha.<BR>

Get in line. I'm still waiting for that flying car everybody was promised in the fifties that they would have in the "21st Century." And I want the self cleaning bathroom too!

Forget about the complicated stuff. I want a little lite in my purse that goes on when I open it, you know, like a refrigerator. How am I ever going to come up with $800 worth of coins if I can't even find my keys in that bottomless pit!!

Forget all that stuff. I'd like a pop-up tissue box that dispenses just one tissue at a time.

I'm still waitin' for some half decent pop music. It's been almost 20 years since I bought a bloody new album. What happened to the bleedin' music?

Scientists were able to transmit a molecule from one place to another a couple of years ago.

Well great, that's a start. How are they coming along with the second molecule?

The second molecule was sent via Air Canada and, as per usual, is still lost somewhere in their baggage claims dept.

What about specifying an exit - can it do that?

I really like the idea of a light going on in my purse and a car/house key(all in one) that pops up also, no more digging around looking and there it is in my pocket!<BR>Also, can my dog please come to London now? You would think that he is germ free by now.

They should invent little do-hickeys for your car that indicate whether you are turning left or right as you approach another car waiting at an intersection. The driver could push down on a little lever on his steering wheel to turn on these little outside lights... Something like up for a left turn and down for a right... I hear rumors that they were installed on cars years ago, but I haven't seen anybody use them here in the Northeast.

I want a Photon Torpedo on my car so the next time some guy is going 50 MPH in the left lane of the freeway, I can just vaporize the dude and move on.<BR><BR>When are they going to invent that?<BR><BR>PS- Do you think I should attend those anger management classes?
