I just received an email from a client in Atlanta. Our installation team was out this past weekend to install a large system in his amazing home. Here's what he had to say:

"I wanted to compliment Dan on the great job he and Jeremiah did for me in Atlanta this past weekend.  They were organized, professional, hard working, conscientious and highly effective.  They also did everything they said they would and managed some difficult issues in taking the wiring over from another vendor.  I wish some of the other contractors were half as good!"

Well done guys!

From the estimates we have been seeing it looks like Apple sold between 90,000 and 120,000 iPads last Friday. That is pretty amazing for a product that almost nobody has held in their hands or even seen in person.

This shows how the popularity of the touch screen has grown. Many companies have attempted tablets in the past, but never with widespread success.

Estimates are Apple took in about $50 million on iPad preorders, not bad for one day. We would be happy to do that in an entire year!
