X-Message-Number: 15317 From: (Rick Potvin) Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 22:48:07 -0700 (MST) Subject: What is "iT"? To avoid miring Cryonet in potential "iT" posts which would clearly be off-topic in a Wakferian sense-- and yet clearly of interest to cryonicists and cryovitrificationunists as part of our concern for our civilizational survivalism tactics, I've initiatited a web-based forum for that specific ideational idea. http://network54.com/forum/96622 is a discussion forum that picks up where msNBC's news item left off last night. If you didn't catch it, it involves Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, a duffle bag, a screwdriver and changing the world. Yeah, it's weird. But hey, it was on msNBC so there must be something to it, right? The big question is "what is "iT"?" Some say it's a perfected Stirling engine. Others, a new form of personal transport. Dean Kamen is certainly quite interesting.
