Actually, that was a reference to _The Dilbert Future_ which is possibly one of the funniest books I've ever read, and I highly reccomend it. Anyway, it's about time we get some trasnporting going on. I've been ranting for the last year or so that we'd have matter transporters by now if it weren't for those lazy scientists playing "Quake" all day. And ever since Quake2 came out, hoo boy. I personally think that network gaming will eventually be the end of this so-called technological revolution...
