.com stuff is bubbling, internet's bubbling.

People are all looking around, how are they gonna make a bunch of money?

But I was always kind of annoyed by the tremendous amount of pain that paperwork was in a business operation.

So we had bar-flung operations and people are still sending stuff.

I mean, I'd get email.

So people were sending stuff around, and internet office envelopes, and everyone had to sign off manually on paper, and it just seemed like it was a real pain.

So it seemed like a pretty good idea to maybe tackle, could we automate that?

Because, you know, the computer business has been about automating processes since the 1960s, more or less.

at least in the business world.

So why not tackle that one?

So we've been tackling that one for almost the last 20 years.

No, completely different, completely new team.

Yes, that's the nice thing about the way we did it.

And I still like that we did it this way.

We're completely privately owned and privately funded and been profitable for a long time.

Still to this day.

So, you know, we're happy about that.

it also enables us just to focus on what we do and not have to meet a bunch of external expectations.

Sure.

Well, we're in kind of a specialized segment of the market.
