Robin, Harry, Just to clarify some of my ramblings... My use of the term "alchemy" was an oversimplified reference to the desire to transmute common elements into valuable elements... i.e. the desire to "transmute" lead into gold. The point I was trying to imply is that the old-world "alchemical"

Culturally speaking, Rossi's eCat (eKittin) technology reminds me of a very popular science fiction genre known as "Steam Punk." Steam Punk has its origins that can be traced back many decades. Curiously, within recent history, the genre has become a thriving sub-culture within the science fiction
