Amazing! Dauphin DTR-1 from 1993. This is a piece of history and still works 25 years later. This was groundbreaking technology for the time and in many ways began to shape what is today's cell phones and tablets. For those of you familiar with running a business, it takes a lifetime of experiences to get it right. For every successful business there was likely half a dozen failed ones, and the 'overnight success' that were 5-10 years in the making

. I have tremendous respect for Alan and the immense experience he has taken the time to share with me and bring to DNotes.

When I met Alan for the first time, way back in 2001, he was using this funny little computer (the DTR). It was like nothing I had ever seen before. I had hired a consulting company, way back in 2001, and Alan was the consultant they had sent out from Chicago. I hired him again, twice, once in 2002, and once in 2004. He was still using that funny little PC, hooked to a Cannon portable printer. I dont know how many hundreds of thousands of copies he printed on that thing, but I know he printed thousands of copies off of it just for me. I will never forget the day I met Alan. I knew, before those three days he spent with me were up, that I HAD to get to know this man better. I could see the genuis in this man. I knew that together, we could, and would, change the world. That was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Now, Alan is one of my dearest friends, my closest advisor, and mentor. We met Joe a few years later, and the rest is history, the greatest part of which has still not been written...........(in other words, the best is yet to come!!)

Thank you, Kevin. We are blessed to have met. Set-back in life is not always a bad thing. I made my contribution in the world of personal computers and now privileged to make a difference in the greatest technology revolution since the Internet. Together with your continued support and that of our community we could indeed help change the world. Yes, let's give it our best shot.
