We ran a promotion of some sort on KITV-TV in late 2001 or early 2002, and
something went wrong. I don't even remember what it was, but I do recall
that KITV-TV offered us a complimentary block of ads to apologize.
When we sadly decided to close The Poi Company, Inc. we decided to use these
free ads to try to sell the Company --- our desire, in particular, was to save
our colleagues' jobs.
The ads ran quite prominently, but we received few calls, and none from
qualified (or serious) purchasers. I just ran across the ad when clearing
out some old computer files, and it was quite a sentimental journey. While
the Company is no longer for sale --- the ad is fun to watch.

A "poi grinder" covers a multitude of things. The Poi Company had a
$168,000 Koruma grinder, made in Switzerland. As a back-up, we had a much
smaller flour grinder -- cost (new) about $2,000.
You won't find a grinder made to grind poi. You have to find a generic
grinder that will grind taro. Trust me, it won't be an easy task. Most
grinders are made to grind dry material, and the taro corm is a very
gnarly, wet beast!
