Wheeler Actually, Heinlein had a book called "Time Enough for Love" that has a similar flavor to Back To The Future but with a little Heinlein-type kick. A great book and a big one too! I highly reccommend it to anyone who like BTTF. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Howard Moskovitz AT&T Info. Systems attunix!howard
