I'll bet they sell a ton of those things to guys at the office. I can see them buzzing over the cubicles now. Glad I am retired. rich

It had to happen, but the Brits have already done it. Early on in WWII they were controlling Test Aircraft with of all things, one of those old Rotary Dial type phones. Probably wasn't Party Line Hookups,
but it worked. I'm waiting for VC, (Voice Control)to become available. Wonder what the VC message will be to drop a bomb or torpedo? "Aw S _ _ T" will probably be the most universaly used command for that
action. On Second thought VC won't be feasible, cause there'd be a whole Flight Line of pilots yelling their tails off at a bunch of confused planes way up there that can't hear at the distance. It might even bring back "Can you hear me now?" to be used for Receiver Ground Checks before each flight! I gotta get out of here...bye y'all. Grampaw
