As well, I'm using a program called Splashtop, which is a remote desktop client that allows me to control from my phone or tablet Mac computers, Linux machines, Windows computers. And all you have to do is click the computer and bang, it's like you're sitting in front of it. So when I'm on Mac, if I need Windows for something or Linux, I can just click the computer that runs that OS and boom, up comes its desktop. Man, I tell you, once you get into this and you really put your solid effort into it, there's nothing you can't do on a Mac that you can do on Windows. I've even got Chirp set up on my Mac for programming radios, which also works fantastically. So all my radio images, programming files from Windows now can be used on Mac through Chirp. I've got OBS set up and El Gallo Game Capture Studio and all kinds of software that's just incredibly useful. And where my previous computer was like 10 years old or more, it was slow at doing like video editing and things like that. But the Mac, I mean, it renders 1080p in like triple and quadruple time as opposed to the actual length of the video. It's kind of incredible. Anybody that recommends people switch to Mac for simplicity and just ease of use and all that, I'm completely on board with that. I mean, the computer sits on my desk. It does have a fan in it, but it's pretty much silent. I don't remember ever hearing the fan spin up in this thing. And I just love it. And I've got another one. It's an iMac over sitting on a coffee table that I've gotten from my neighbor, which works just fine as well. So I've been using that as a mechanism for viewing my security cameras. It just sits there. It just shows the cameras and that's it. That's all it's been doing. But if I want footage from it, I can connect to it remotely and transfer footage. I've got a USB hard drive plugged into it, a one terabyte drive that just takes care of video recording. Man, I tell you, the set up is just coming along. It's really coming along. And Mac has definitely helped with my productivity, that's for sure. Anyway, I don't think this is final comments. I think you said the next one will be. So I'll pass it back to you. I'm going to disconnect Michigan temporarily and we'll rejoin the Michigan conference when we're done here. If anybody is on Michigan and would like to continue to the end of the cowabunga net, feel free to connect directly to DoDropIn or DoDropInto. Back to you, Gray. V-O-N-U-K-Z. Did Russell say if he's going to be out here tomorrow to do the net?
