      Thanks Dan. I highly appreciate you checking this out. I knew going into this that the Gizmondo would have very low viewership appeal, so I appreciate the support.

    You never cease to dig into scarcely-covered corners of gaming history, and do so in an extremely engaging way.
    The same thing goes for your more mainstream content. You simply have a very satisfying way of conveying information.

    Concerning Atob AB (later Pixelbite AB), they're a Swedish company (like Gizmondo, which probably explains how they got involved with each other), "AB" means aktiebolag, or joint-stock company, and would probably be translated as "Limited". Actually, they're situated pretty close to Koenigsegg, so that probably helped.

    Excellent work. At the time I had more interest in the Gizmondo as a media device than as a gaming device. I don't mind being an early adopter for proven companies like Nintendo or Sony, but for newcomers, I tend to wait and see.
