A laptop, the 01UKZ, this is KC2PPG, that is a pretty spectacular present. It's really cool. When I was running R&D for Crumb & Forstner & Company, this was early in the days of desktops and laptops. Our job was to find the right models for the whole company to buy. We recommended some that we shouldn't have, and we got much tougher about the whole thing. One of the laptop tests we went through was we would leave it under the back window in a sedan in the parking lot in the sun. We'd leave it there all day long until it got almost too hot to touch. Then we would bring it in and fire it up. We didn't have a chance to find anything. We had a refrigerator, we could put it in the refrigerator for a while and see if it would fire up and stuff like that. We ended up going with, do you remember grid laptops? Some of them went down with a space shuttle. They were tough. They had titanium cases. They were very tough. Even though you could barely touch it with your hands, it would still fire up. We said this is the one to get. You never know how somebody's going to treat a business laptop. It had to be slammed around, it had to be packed or unpacked, used on the airplane, ripped out of the wall, all that stuff. That was the one that really worked. Those are the ones that we went with. All right. I don't think Rick's out there. K9, PFD, are you still out there, Rick?
