How much did you know about Beamdog/Overhaul before BG:EE?

The title pretty much sums it up. I'm asking for no other reason than I'm curious. I find myself assuming that the majority of people here didn't know about Beamdog before BG:EE, but I realized that I have no reason to think that other than that's the case for myself. I'm treating Beamdog and Overhaul as a single entity here, assuming that if someone knew about one they'd know about the other (hopefully that's a reasonable assumption).

Regarding the wording of some of the options, by "aware" I simply mean that you had heard or seen the name before somewhere; if you knew even a few details about them then go with "familiar".

I'm including a "show results" option for completness' sake, but seeing as how this isn't a poll on opinion, I think everyone ought to be able to choose something, even if it's just the "other" option.

    One thing is sure from this poll: BGEE put Beamdog on the map.

    I was familiar with Beamdog/Overhaul/IdeaSpark Labs due to some(/most(? I'm not even sure now given the new recruits/contractors, it's a bit offset now depending on how you look at it)) of them being at BioWare previously. Other than that, I had only a small amount of interest prior to BG:EE. I created accounts with the sole purpose of pre-ordering BG:EE (Beamdog.com account) and keeping up-to-date with the news regarding its release (forum account).

    Even if Beamdog didn't make it past this whole contract deal, atleast they got alot of publicity from making BG:EE
