Inventor's Chronicle

This year my company and I made our first million dollars of our laptop sells and we are really glad with this unexpected result because at first when we released the osborne 1 we thought it was just going to sell for a while but it actually sold very much and big organisations and companies have ordered more and more units because they have ran out quickly from their shops!!

So I am glad that my invention has liked many people and have benefited them and I am planning on releasing a new version with a new software and new interesting gadgets.
When i say my invention I also mean my team because helped me on my work and sacrificed their time when we had to produce a huge amount of units because of big sales.
