Hey, it is 2002, where the %#&#@ is my flying car!? I'm not too particular 
what it runs on or what it is compatable with. And if it is rocket powered 
I expect it to reach orbital speed. :-)

P.S. When my '88 Acura Integra's transmission finally failed after 11 
years, I went out and bought a '99 Acura Integra. But don't read too much 
into that.

P.P.S. I have no idea what cars, rocket, flying, or otherwise have to do 
with a programming language. But this IS Usenet after all.
