No, I mean looking at those Those mock-ups right? Okay. Well that looks gorgeous. I mean, I'm sure I'm sure it's a really fantastic thing

But okay. Well, am I really gonna put you a take off my glasses set them down somewhere

we're I'll probably step on them or lose them or something and put this thing on my head and then

You know Basically use an iPad or use a Mac. I mean, I don't know. I I just that's a real tough sell for me

No matter how good something is if there's not a reason for people to plurk down

$3,500 for it then I don't think it matters like they might be impressed. They might think it's cool

But are they actually gonna spend their own money on it? I'm not trying to bag this thing

I mean, I think again once it comes out and we start seeing people

Actually use it and we can get a better Understanding of what we're supposed to use or how we're supposed to use it. I think that our sentiments might change
