We have perhaps 15 computers in three different locations, and my husband is extremely technical--always working on challenging things such as e-mail engines and fast-loading CD ROM videos, and our horse farm website ... Of course we have lots of mouse pads, none of which work very well. My husband loves Oriental rugs, and when I saw the ...Freud MouseRug ..., getting it for him for Christmas was a no-brainer, although I admit to a moment of hesitation because of the price for something that companies give away as a free promotion. He is a difficult man to buy gifts for, because the only interests he has relate to the computer, and he buys all the programs and pieces he wants. He was absolutely elated with the MouseRug, and couldn't stop talking about what a wonderful thing it was, the best he'd ever seen. And so he urged me to order more of them, which I did, from your company. He was very entertained at the picture of you as an entrepreneur with a start up trying to approach a bank for financing. You've successfully blended two of his favorite things. Very graceful and clever. Congratulations! We'll no doubt be ordering more at some point. A happy and prosperous New Year to you! Joan R
