right now, in NYC (channel 4).
At the moment they stopped for commercials but they will
tell more about the FDA tests; John Hockenberry "competed"
with DK in the previous segment. JH used his conventional
wheelchair, DK used the iBOT.

They did not give the anticipated date for the full FDA approval,
but it is probably quite near; the price, Stone Phillips said, will be 30thousand dollars. The iBOT can be obtained only through a doctor's recommendation.

that's the approximate transcript. They actually
give the anticipated date (August 11) in the article.
Perhaps somebody can still record it - I caught it
just in time to watch, but that's why I reported
immediately! - I have not found the video yet.
I have the link to the original John Hockenberry - Dateline
1999 presentation. I will publish it here in a moment.

Here: that one still has the link to the video.

msnbc always gives an 866 phone number at the end of Dateline that we could call for transcripts or for segments of their programs.
As for hosting the video segments online ... I think we would need to ask for their permission. I am sure they would not mind us exchanging home-recorded segments with each other, but I don't think we could just post them on the Internet without their approval.

I watched the video -- it seems to be the one that must have accompanied the posted transcript.

Brought tears to my eyes.

Broo, I am so happy that I managed to catch the iBOT video segment at
exactly the right moment - I must be telepathic after all, in
spite of (or maybe because of :D ) working in this field for quite some time ... I just don't understand why NBC broke their nice tradition of making the video segment available on the Web to start with, considering that John Hockenberry was the very first reporter who presented this ingenious robotic device to the world.

Some more for those who are really interested:

John Hockenberry wrote this great article for the Wired magazine August 2001 issue. The link works, and there may still be a few people who are not familiar with this article!
