Good to see you, John.

Do you see a button?

It could be above F12.

I do.

And that may work.

Thank you, David.

Hey.

No problem.

That is the extent of my IT expertise right there.

I was unfortunately part of all the text exchanges, getting John his equipment, getting him set up, and all of the pre-show shenanigans.

And I just want to personally thank John for the effort.

It's been Herculean in nature, and it's been as ineffective as it's been funny.

But on the other hand, it's super happy, and I'm happy to see you guys.
