do. I think Henry Ford once said, "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that
are not yet on the page.</span></font></b><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman""><o:p></o:p></span></h1>
