Hi Amber,

I also can't wait to see what "IT" is! It has a lot of advanced publicity to live up to.... I wonder of it will live up to it too! Nevertheless, I'm sure it will be interesting and exciting.... :)

By the way, Dean Kamen and Ron Popeil (who I mentioned in my response to Gordon below) are two interesting people. Both consider themselves to be inventors first and foremost - but they have two different approaches to surviving as an inventor.... For those who have an "inventive" bent, these two are fascinating!

(When I was a kid, one of the things I wanted to be was an "inventor".... :) )

Here's an interesting article about Ron Popeil, with some good links too.... Ron Popeil says in this article (last paragraph), "I'm an inventor first and a marketer second"....

And here's an interesting profile of Dean Kamen....
