As though looking into a crystal ball . . . investors, risk takers and those in the know
alike quickly flocked to purchase their very own pie in the sky (literally selling all
units in a matter of hours)

Each of these savvy investors had seen only one model unit and with
67 different types of units continuity was key, so a simple formal concept of
BOX and CURVE was used to tie all of the units together.
