   Yes and he is still complaining that he didnt get paid for the idea of   
   Satellites and satellite communications.. Arthur Clark I met many a long   
   year ago at Oxford... He is very childlike and has a sense of wonder   
   that somehow seems to make him seem still a boy... when I talked to him   
   he was raving about the new Hologram pictures, and had a couple of the   
   flat round hologram pictures round his neck... one of an eye and one of   
   a Pyramid, He gave me the eye... Which I still own.   
   No doubt the hologram necklaces will date me nicely, though I was not a   
   student at Oxford at the time I was down their for a conference, and r   
   Clark was one of the speakers. And we met up at the back of the stage   
   afterwards.
