IT Inventor Cools Other's Speculations Greetings to those following (or speculating on) Dean Kamen's Ginger -- aka IT: The following message is posted in the Press Release section at www.dekaresearch.com: << Statement from Dean Kamen, President, DEKA Research & Development Corporation MANCHESTER, NH -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 01/12/2001 -- Since speculation arising from an unfortunate, unapproved leak of a book proposal has not diminished, I feel compelled to comment further. DEKA is currently working on several exciting projects. The book proposal referred to one. However, the leaked proposal quoted several prominent technology leaders out of context, without their doubts, risks and maybes included. This, together with spirited speculation about the unknown, has lead to expectations that are beyond whimsical. We have a promising project, but nothing of the earth shattering nature that people are conjuring up. Please let me focus my public efforts on being an evangelist for FIRST, a cause which truly could have an earth shattering impact. >> Questions: Does anyone believe this will end or even alter rabid tech speculation? Does anyone really think news terrorists (aka - journalists) will report on the genuine world changing potential of Kamen's real object of promotion: FIRST? Jerry in Omaha
