No, he means Applied Ingenuity.  AI's advertisements were cool.  They
always made fun of Applied Engineering.  ;-)

Applied Engineering had a Vulcan advertisement in which a bunch of
engineers in lab coats were looking at a Vulcan in a IIGS.  AI spoofed
this by showing a bunch of folks dressed up in Star Trek uniforms,
one with the pointed ears of a Vulcan, looking at a IIGS with an InnerDrive
in it.

That's AI's version of the Vulcan concept, by the way, the InnerDrive.

There were IDE and SCSI versions.

AI's motto was always that they had INGENUITY at low prices
instead of ENGINEERING outrageously high prices.  ;-)
