Just out of curiosity, anyone have any ideas what this new product code named "ginger" is supposed to be? I mean, after all if it is going to revolutionize my life, i want to know what "IT" is so i can invest in it.

"IT" ain''t a damn thing. It''s a scam. The patent office said it was a scooter with a gigantic wheel.

Why does everyone on this board keep going on about ''IT''? I''ve never even heard about it. Where did you hear all this stuff about ''How it wil revolutionise stuff'' etc.. ?

I first heard about it through the robotics team I am with, part of FIRST, one of Dean Kamen''s many organizations. I have seen the prototype for his wheelchair, and that thing is amazing. If he can produce something even half as good as that, it *will* revolutionize the world. The guy is a genius. I have heard him speak, and even met him briefly at the FIRST regionals/nationals. If anybody can revolutionize the world, Dean Kamen is the one.

About IT, I have heard that it is a personal transportation device, very likely a scooter of some kind. I have also heard wild theories about hover cars, teleporters and jet packs. I think it is some kind of small motorized two-wheel (he loves things that balance and go fast...) device for a single person to stand on. As far as investing, I think you need to be "in" on what Ginger is before you can invest (or maybe the other way around?) because all of the investors so far know what it is, and they aren''t talking.
