That is exactly it.
And then that's why Toys R Us would want that machine connected to as many apps as possible because in this industry, content sells the hardware.
Totally.
Just like in phones.
Yep, totally.
And just so you know, it's pretty interesting you brought up Toys R Us.
One that, I mean, we are not currently partnered with, so I feel okay bringing it up, is Mattel will have a $299 3D printer in stores this Christmas.
It's already been announced.
Uh...
We haven't missed it yet.
We haven't missed it.
So there, we have some conversations going.
so so what you would do you and i nate nathan nathan's 3d printers and i would work it out to where you would put our software directly in your machine so it ships out um with the software already installed white labeled for you all that box is uh is a linux board similar to a raspberry pi yep uh running our software and and we actually encourage tech savvy users to not even buy the box
Just use the Raspberry Pi because the software is free.
And are you only, go ahead, sorry.
No, no.
uh the the revenue uh with that to the uh from the consumer will come with uh app sales uh but i'm talking about the um 3d printing app sales so not necessarily ios or android like if you log in to astroprint.com which is free you'll see the the apps that we currently have available
Most are free.
One of them is a paid app currently, but there's a lot more paid apps coming soon from third parties.
So if a user purchased a model from a developer that put an app up there, then we would keep 30% of that.
