What was that video game? Bionic Commando?

That sounds like a slick idea to help old people keep mobile. However, I can see it kind of having consequences of them withering away faster because they now have a machine totally helping them move and now they hardly will use their muscles at all.

$14,000?!?!?!?!? damn! but if you were able to reprogram that suit, you would be able to jump and run higher and faster than anybody...depends of course on the speed of the motors...pretty cool.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We could kick in doors, knock down walls, and jump fences with the ease of an ostrich feather blowing in a Sahara wind. $14-000-$19,000 isn't actually too bad, I expected it to be more.
