Well, I don't know about you, but I own an Inner Drive; I've had one for over
6 months.  I was rather surprised to see the Vulcan prototype at Applefest. 
It looked IDENTICAL to the AI Inner Drive (even the shape was exactly the
same)... except AE's case was black.  There was a joke circulating that AE
didn't even have a prototype (that it was in Inner Drive in disguise).  

Well, you can imagine that the folks at Applied Ingenuity weren't thrilled to
death about Applied Engineering stealing their idea.  After all, it is a
rather nice drive; I really like mine.  

Actually, I think the ad is quite amusing.  We need some laughs in this
industry... everyone takes things too damn seriously.
