Q Uh, but you wanted to figure out a way to do this, and you knew already in 2002 that you wanted to do this wirelessly?
A Yeah, Wi-Fi was just starting, and that, that was the only, if you didn't, if you didn't deliver an experience wirelessly, you just weren't, you shrunk the market tremendously, and I think all of us, the common theme was we all loved music, we all wanted it in different places in the house, not just one room. Um, you wanted to wake up to it, you wanted to listen to it when you were in your kitchen, you wanted to have it in your living room, ideally out in your patio, um, And we bought some of the systems that you could build into the house, and they weren't reliable, they were hard to use, um, they were expensive, they often failed quickly.

Q most people? Like, right now, if you said to me, you know, hey guy, Let's come up with something really cool. I would say, well, let's do wireless electricity. Like, let's, let's figure out how to power my, my blender without having to plug it in. Was it, it might not have been that kind of outlandish, but was it a little outlandish to be having that conversation in 2002?
A Yeah, for sure. I mean, I was told by no end of people in the industry or outside of it that that was crazy and it would never work. Um, but we were pretty persistent and keep in mind, I had been through this with the internet before, so I had some level of confidence that once you dived into something and you saw the trends going your way, you saw something someone else didn't. And so we felt pretty confident it would go that way. In fact, we thought it would move faster than it did. It usually took longer. For example, you look now at the cloud services. They were out the same time we really got started, and it was a wonderful thing, but people could not get their heads around getting their music out of the cloud. It was, it took a lot of incremental change, like the iPod and the iPhone, to get people to, you know, um, start having that expectation.
