I'm trying to picture that with 20 kilo bags of something flying through the air. It's like yikes, how do we turn this thing off? Whoa. And you know that actually is a really important issue though. I work with robotic tape libraries which you know for a large data center on their main frame computer would have these libraries that would hold literally thousands of tapes and you know there might be several libraries connected together. And a couple of different vendors we were looking at and one of them was very safety conscious. I mean these things you can actually walk inside them. And one of them was very safety conscious. I mean when you close the door and turn it on it's just very careful low power sweep just to make sure you didn't bump into anything. And once it was you know had done everything it could do to prove make sure that there's no one in there that's safe then it would go up and come to full speed and do its thing. And the other one not so much. It would just take off and do its thing at normal full speed. And they alleged that if someone locked you in there that you couldn't get out. So yeah you know that was with me as we were choosing which kind of you know robotic libraries we were going to have. That was a big factor for me, safety. We really don't need you know any mess ups and have somebody getting killed in the Cape Library because we had a robotic library that wasn't very safe. Absolutely safety definitely a big deal. Back to you, KSHM. Be careful.
