Uh, it says that one couldn't go back to before the machine was turned on, so that would make 1964 out of the question. ;) However, if this worked, and I had it, I'd turn it on today and step in there on Tuesday or so, after I picked up the winning lottery details.

"The theory is that when the machine is turned on and runs for a day, a person can step into the machine and return to the day before," Mallett said. "Hence, a person can travel back from the future to any time in the past, but not past before the time machine was turned on."

I really don't have enuff tin-foil for this one.

Um....nowhere in the article does it say there is a way BACK from the past...specially if the night-janitor powers down the machine.

But wait ... if I turned one machine on today, then sent it back to yesterday using a second machine, then I could use the sent-back machine to move forward in time by one day.

And if it's not a "point-to-point" time transfer, but instead a "delta-time" transfer, I could send machines from yesterday to the previous day, etc.
