Congratulations to our great product development team, both domestically and in our Taiwan operation that has been diligently working on this product for over a year along with our design team and our product marketing team. This was clearly a great team effort that involved engineering resources from our Hickory based engineering team along with a host of our sales and marketing team members. Another great example of cross functional teamwork that has become a part of the culture at Cables To Go.
