And so it was very active and very busy.

And we said, hey, let's put this on the internet.
We should find out how we can put this on the internet.
I barely knew what the internet was at the time.
I didn't even have a computer at home.

And we basically built a futures exchange from the ground up.
And we built a functioning futures exchange of our own to trade these sports futures.

Almost.
Yes, I'd say so.
