you have that iteration where everyone's trying to figure out how to use it.
And it's those companies, those managements, those industries that can lean into the fact that there's a lot of change.

And we had talked about and given them a heads up that some of that transition may be volatile.
It doesn't mean that people have to sell the seven and go buy the 493.
It can mean the seven broaden out
or flatten out, if you will, and the others catch up, do some catch up.
