This is the last time I’ll be addressing you as CEO of this company. Those are strange words to say, but the time has come for me to step down. I’ll remain chairman of the board, and concentrate on helping us grow our brand internationally. I’ll appoint Quinn Constantine as CEO of this company. He is a man who is not only our executive vice-president but someone who has dedicated his entire career to our firm. Quinn came aboard 20 years ago, fresh out of college, and began as a software engineer. His drive and wisdom have been important in developing our most popular and successful products. He has spent the past 5 years working closely with me. I can assure you that he is well prepared for this change, and is qualified to keep this company among the leaders in an increasingly competitive high-tech industry. I expect there will be little change in our day-to-day operations, but I’ll let your new boss speak for himself. Ladies and gentlemen, here’s Quinn Constantine.
