In 1984, Steve Jobs loaned Bob McDermand a Macintosh 128K - Apple's first commercial Mac.

After some weeks testing this innovative machine, Bob was very excited about the ease of use and the concept of computing for everyone.
He noticed that the mouse, well designed though it was, did not work well on all surfaces. This led to the development of a mousing surface which became known as the Mouspad. Millions were sold around the world, customized for use by hundreds of corporations, film studios and other artistic projects.

Now with the popularity of smart phones, Bob noticed another need, the need for a simple elegant smartphone stand for FaceTime, movies, Skype and other apps.

A simple stand made with the highest quality materials and that fits in the same pocket as a credit card. He showed this idea to his friend, John Mayes.

John an Airline Transport Pilot, creator of the Cisco PIX Firewall, Network Address Translation, Server Load Balance among other things, was instrumental in researching various materials for the X. He also helped refine the basic idea of the stand, making it more useful for different devices
Together, Bob and John created about 50 prototypes to arrive at our current design.

Both Bob and John, after working for decades in the information and data service industry are having fun creating real products that serve real needs. We hope you have as much fun using Moustrak-X as we had making it.
