Invention from MIT, revisited

That would be a "Citroen" - there's a street in Orange county called "Citron", which is a fruit very much like a lemon, but with very little flavor, AFAIK.

I got a call from a headhunter for them, but was otherwise occupied. Reason was that I built one of those for a company called Checkout Ltd for recharging ID badges easily. Worked well. never went into production.

That would be Citroen - known in the vernacular as "Zippo" after the tendency of a run of C3's to self-combust (I actually bought one myself for wifey - there was like 6000 rebate on the poor thing and I could do with a new carport ... ).

A succesful product must create more problems than it solves - otherwise there can be no economic growth ;-)

Indeed, but I was pandering to Jim Thompson. Americans refer to s*it cars as being Lemons.

Rich also pointed out my 'error'..... I thought he was an American? Mind you, he admits to driving a Lemon :-)

DNA

That was my previous one - the insurance company bought me a "new" one after I crashed and they totaled that one, and I've been quite happy with the car I've been driving. :-)

Cheers! Rich
