    I was wondering where the Dr went! Haven't seen him around for a couple of years.

    I still find it hard to believe he is the inventor of the floppy disc.

    At 82, he may well bring down the average age of a couple of political parties in Japan. They'll be calling him Doctor-kun

    Hey, where did he get that King Kamehameha hat? I have always thought Dr. Nakamatsu was an interesting character, and a brilliant man. Like many brilliant people, he is very eccentric, but that's what makes him appealing to me. I wish I could get a pair of his jumping shoes for my commute to work. Just checked out his homepage, and now the shoes are called Super Pyon2 and they run 17,800 yen. http://dr.nakamats.com/shop/index.html I'd vote for him, he couldn't do any worse than the people in charge now...

    Do we know he is a tourist? Did anyone ask him? He could be a resident of Japan and just assumed to be a tourist since he is not Japanese.
