Dedication
This invention is dedicated to my wife, Abbee, who has put up with
me for the past seven years, through every 12-hour workday, skipped
vacation, and our “honeymoon” at CES. As the business forced me
to quit most of my hobbies, you supported me every step of the way.
From the start of Myine in our guest bedroom to our first CES and
beyond, you have been supportive and a true believer in my pursuit of
the American Dream. Thanks for not throwing away my dinner when
the “I’ll be home in 15 minutes” turns into two hours. Regardless of the
sales of the radio, the development of this product and our business,
through your support, is a success that will never be forgotten.
I would also like to thank the following people who believed in me
when most gave me the “good luck” pat on the back: Mom, Dad, Belle,
Bruce, Joyce, Massimo, Paul, and my extended friends and family.
