DigitalBill Alpha Geek Posts: 254 From: The TiBook(!), on the wireless LAN, to the BaseStation, through the router, nothin' but Net! (around South Florida) Registered: Jan 2001	posted February 27, 2002 09:56 So I'm watching the Today show today (duh!), and they had the Hammacher Schlemmer "Hover Scooter" on... $15,000 to go 15MPH! But I guess if a skateboard or a Razor don't do it for ya... Anyway, my friend Stef, who made a hovercraft when he was in high school, pointed out that he met the inventor of this craft a few years ago... and they have some "HoverAngels" on their website. Now those are TRBs!! (Techno-Ridin' Babes!)

I thought they were painted at first, but they're moved between shots. IP: Logged

Actually, we have a lot of that kitchy stuff down here... =bd And you thought natural coconuts were hard to open... IP: Logged

Kudos to the person who can tell me what table that was from. Anyway, forget the scooters, how much are the TRBs? IP: Logged
