Interesting history of TV-B-Gone; all the way from inspiration to recommendations of good Chinese contract manufacturers. Also a good caution about not warning your credit card processor if you are going to be exceeding your stated velocities. When he first set-up TV-Be-Gone website he thought he was wildly overestimating his first years sales when he told them $100k/year. Three weeks later he had orders for almost $300k - good problem to have, right? Well the credit card processor was worried he wouldn't be able to fulfill all those orders so they told him they were holding back the money until he did. The trouble is he needed that money to pay for the shipment of new stock, almost causing the exact problem they were worried about - He was bailed out by a loan from family.
