I would enjoy living in a dome house, in fact, I plan on it! I was intrigued by his ideas on making a better bathroom. I would like to find out more information about it; if anyone knows where I can find out more, please email me at ahlbear@juno.com. Posted by: Corny (corny2000@aol.com)

Let see. I have built hexaflexigons and tensigrity (sp) masts. I've read Synergetics enough times to almost understand it. :-) I'd live in a dome in a minute. I'd prefer to build it myself. A Dymaxion car, though, would have to be seriously updated. I bet Syd Mead could design a terrific verision. Posted by: Christ Andronis (andronitoons@msn.com)

One of my dreams has been to construct my own dome house. I've only to acquire the land and convince my wife of it. I've been a Bucky fan since high school (I'm 45 now....and yes...out of high school). Posted by: Jeff Bequette (rhbequet@mcmsys.com)

In a New York minute I'd drive a Dymaxion Car. Updated with todays tech, I think we could improve mileage nearly 150%. Size variations would be needed, as well as the Saftey standards. Would it have to meet car saftey standards or could it be termed experimental? Does anyone in the three-wheel crowd build replicas like the davis car? Email me care of rhbequet@mcmsys.com if you know of anyone doing anything in this field.
