You hit the nail right on the head, Mike. The WOW factor. I think it's
what may have seduced many a buyer, new and classic. It was also Malcolm's
specialty, to present things with the WOW factor. The everlasting battery,
the uncrushable car, the car for a month's wage (yes, the Yugo did have a
WOW factor), the Gyro powered-bike, and so on. However, he would repeatedly
show he could never see these things through to their promised
serviceability. Too many others have shown that the WOW factor does not
necessarily have to be an all exclusive factor, and can go hand in hand with
serviceability and a more durable, less transient WOW. Is that a double wow
or just a more complete wow? Malcolm's own WOW factor is as a pitch man
extraordinaire. Even after repeated ventures ending in total fiascos, he
still manages to stir up the money pot from intelligent folk, and even
Canadians! WOW! Congrats on showing a poignant focus Mike.
