We usually try to impress customers.

So we just went online and saw that BlackBerry was going to create a tablet called the Playbook.

Found some ad for it.

It was very hard to see anything.

And I asked the prototyping team, can you just replicate all of what they've done and just put it on an iPad and we'll just film it and send it to them just to show what we can do because this is what we did.

We built those kind of things.

We did that for two and a half days, four people, and then send that video to them, filmed an iPad and sent it to them.

And then we had that phone call.

And when we had the phone call, we just sent them a link saying, oh, check this link.

And the call was totally silent for five minutes.

We're like, oh.

Oh, not five minutes, but like, you know, 50 seconds.

But 50 seconds is a long time on a telco to be muted.

So after 50 seconds, suddenly they come back and it's like,

So can you be in Waterloo on Monday?

We're like, okay, either really pissed off or they were really impressed.

And they were the latter.

And what actually, the interesting thing is like, we were so, and what then happened is like, we flew to Canada, met them, and they told us like, it was actually kind of a play too, because we met the complete management team.

And then Mike was like, in front of his whole management team, he was saying, okay, guys, we're not going to use you guys.

We're going to use Adobe Flash.
