I have a password to the site, this is what the link was to: >>>>>Sharper Image's 'Wearable Air Conditioner' is Summer's Hottest Item; Specialty Retailer's 'Coolest' New Product is a High-Tech Version of Traditional Ice-Soaked Towel SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 28, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- Leave it to The Sharper Image to enhance a traditional idea -- cooling off withan ice-soaked towel around the neck -- and make it great with innovative technology, sleek design and pure imagination. The Personal Cooling System(TM) 2.0 is a lightweight aluminum collar that houses a patented, miniature evaporative-cooling system. When the weather's hot and there's no air conditioner, the invention makes the entire body feel cooler -- up to 20 degrees cooler than the surrounding temperature even on the hottest days. "We are always looking for new, patented technologies," explained Richard Thalheimer, Founder and CEO of The Sharper Image. "You can imagine my excitement when an engineer introduced us to a major advancement in miniaturized evaporative cooling. He was discussing concepts such as 'ambient air movement' and 'heat sink' and I thought, 'wearable air conditioner!'" <<<<< And so forth . . . . Spam, in other words.
