It is probably the same grin I get when I think of MagLev trains that were going to 'revolutionize' transportation when super-conductor magnets made frictionless mass transit obsequitous. Hopefully there will be some solution that won't end up being more than a back issue of Popular Science. :-)

Speaking of the maglev, I wonder how many people remember its predecessor, the Aerotrain...

I thought it was great. Much more economical. Not sure why the aerotrain was abandoned for the maglev. I guess politicians like to fund pie-in-the-sky technologies instead of something simple.
