This is NOT MIT wanting to do anything. It is a project of a small
handful of kids in grad school.
A project of a handful of MIT grad students is NOT concerned with what has
been done before.
Probably doesn't even know about Jeri Ellsworth's product.
Is probably not even aware of the IP issues.
Has no clue about manufacturing realities.
Has no clue about marketing.
Is based on their school-age nostalgia and memories, NOT on what is
practical.
This ain't news.
Now, if Jeri Ellsworth were to join the project, THEN I would take it
seriously.
