So it was more or less like that.

That install base just it automatically updates and then they kind of saw my new features that they could purchase.

And then from there.

I kind of set up a website and people could buy, buy a license.

Uh, so it was, uh, internally, uh, I was working at a large, like fortune 100 software company kind of thing.

And I built it in my free time.

And then we had some guys there that had some, I don't know, uh, uh, friends at Microsoft sort of thing.

Um, so when they saw that I built that open source tool, they got ahold of these guys at Microsoft and then eventually Microsoft promoted it.

Like, uh, it was, you know, on their website and, um,

It eventually was in the installer for a little while.

That kind of thing.

You could actually select a feature and install my product.

Yeah.

So that's pretty cool.

Oh man, I was like way low, you know, I was like, ah, people, you know, I have 750, I did like the math.

I was like, I have 750,000 installs or whatever.

Right.

I'm going to charge 25 bucks a year for, you know, this paid feature kind of thing.

And, um, from there it was kind of like, oh yeah.

Oh, okay.
