I think it is a good thing.

Hear, hear. Let's reward the folks who produce things that we like by buying their products!

Actually they smell like rubber conveyor belting, with faint hints of adhesive. But I can confirm that their design carries the talented Mr. Vielkind-Neun's fingerprints.
Earlier today, I was lucky enough to see and handle the 4" and 6" IFI wheels shown at the link that started this thread. JVN brought them to the Pilot FVC event at St. Louis, and was nice enough to let interested people preview this soon-to-be-released IFI product.
I want some!

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
