Yea, I know. This isn't CoCo-related, but I just had to...
One of the first novels I ever read from front to back when I was a
kid was Danny Dunn - The Invisible Boy. I got drawn into the book
pretty quick because it was about a robotic fly with a camera on it
that nobody was aware of... a spying insect if you will. I think
Danny used it to spy on people. Then it gets into government stuff,
etc. I hope they make a movie out of this book one day.
Back then these ideas would get you put in a straight jacket. I
always knew we would have this one day. Maybe 10 years from now
they'll have one as small as a fly or nat, but let's hope not!
Now you know why fly-swatters are so hard to find now. ;)
