Thanks for steering me on to "Steamboy". I watched it last night. It was a trip unlocking the boy mechanic trapped in this aging body.
As for steam; having been born down by the rail yards there in Little Rock when steam was still in use I guess it is not surprising that I am fascinated with it.
Jules Verne along with the "Tom Swift" books fueled my fantasies more than anything later and my dad encouraged it. His statement when the first men landed on the moon was "what took us so long?."
