Strange. Have I changed universes? Up until now every reference I've see had it "Curtis-Wright".

Talking of Retro-Future, someone has just posted over at the SFMB about Retro Future Submissions - those fine folks at Galileo Games/Books are planning a magazine on the subject, and welcome short stories, artwork, etc. Details at this page! The deadline for the first issue, centered on Robots, robotics, and artificial intelligence, is November 1st. Stories longer than 500 words may be serialized! Surprised

Today you can buy an LCD TV with a screen measuring 90" diagonally or a projection TV that can throw an image measuring 102" diagonally (that's well over 7 feet horizontally). Maybe not quite an entire wall, but getting there.
