And that's not even what this is. You know, in Microsoft Word, how you can change two words or two letters and it's just changed.

Bookkeeping, accountants, hundreds of thousands are lost due to spreadsheets and all the different software that PCs introduce, right? Office equipment manufacturers, we lose tons of that because now all this is consolidated into a computer. So we lose a ton of jobs, right, based on personal computers.
