After reading so much crap on prior art, am I to assume that if I invent an autopilot for my scenicruiser, the patent will get knocked down because of that idiot that put hers on cruise and went to the back of the coach to make sandwich? Pretty obvious you can't do that without some kind of guidance. Then I suppose I'll have to deal with the airlines because they thought of it first. And what about that guy with the two wheeled auto-balancing thingabob it's pretty obvious if I'd put a computer and wheels with a motor on my stilts I wouldn't have broken my arm or if I'd put them on my pogo stick I wouldn't have had to jump up and down. Incidently the lady that made the sandwich got a lot of money, and she didn't invent s--t. Prior art must equal hindsight which is why patents are good for only so long, pretty obvious I need a lawyer or a break. GLTAL RJ
