It existed, but it really wasn't there.

And so there's this little thing called the stick.

It would hook up to a fax machine and allow you to switch from your fax machine to your

credit card reader remotely.

And then you also had this little device that you could plug into a computer and it would record your calls on your computer and your hard drive.

And I took those two devices.

I sat down with an electrical engineer and I said, look, I know I can dial in remotely and switch from this fax to this credit card machine.

And I know that I can record onto a hard drive.

I needed a device that will do both of those things together so I can dial in remotely.

And this is all analog, nothing digital at the time.

And we were able to make it.

I was able to get my price point where I wanted it.

I bought 100 of them to get started with.

What's that?

Yeah, and that was R&D plus the cost of the equipment.

Well, that's the point.

So August 2001, does that ring a bell to anybody?

A month later, 9-11 hits, right?

So here I was with my $70,000 second mortgage on my home, bought all this equipment, have these cool little devices.

In fact, I'll grab one real quick.
