The creation and production of ADB I/O spanned from Sweden to California to Taiwan. The “Bees” gather on the Internet and that is where they collab- orate on product developments and also where they socialize. It is a new, exciting and revolutionary approach, allowing the best and brightest to work together, unfettered by geography, time zones or other conventional obstacles to fruitful collaboration.
