The Good Doctor was born in Russia (his family moved here when he was three) but was a naturalized US citizen, and he wrote a great number of things on a great number of subjects. <http://www.asimovonline.com/asimov_FAQ.html> ASIMO stands for "Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility", though I have no doubt the inventors are completely aware of the implications of the acronym, they just couldn't a) come up with a 'V' word to end it sensibly (though MoVement would have worked), and b) (and more likely) would have run into legal problems with Issac Asmiov's estate. <http://www.21stcentury.co.uk/robotics/honda_asimo_robot.asp> > -- "Wherever you go, there you are." - B.
