When I read books about subs and their history I see the JIM suit, but I 
never see the NewtSuit (besides looking cooler I think it probably works 
better too), so seeing anything about the NewtSuit came as a surprise.

Never been to Vancouver, but the San Jose Tech Museum has several ROVs that 
visitors can control, and I had a terrible time getting past the little kids 
(and the big ones, too) to have some fun with 'em, so I built my own stinkin' 
ROV (I should get some waterproof paint and name it Anklebiter....).
