The fact Waldoes now exists by that name brings to mind other authors using 
ideas from previous authors and keep the origional name.  I recall reading 
a book - by Kate Wilhelm (sp?) I beleive - that contained Waldoes with no
explanations just like they were as common as bicycles.  Then of course
hyperspace seems to show up everywhere and I have seen the three laws of 
robotics in several places.

It would be novel if someone developed fast interstellar travel and called it
hyperspace don't you think?

Thanks Isaac.
