Re: Things to do on the way down to Atlanta?

Add the movie "The Italian Job" to the list. And like someone stated, Short Circuit.

How about a nice game of chess?

That someone would break the sound barrier was just a question of when, not if (except for the minority that thought of the "sound barrier" as a real barrier).

Wilbur died in 1912 so you might be right about him, but there is no reason to think Orville -- a legitimate technology pioneer -- couldn't have foreseen supersonic air travel.
