I am in Las Vegas for Converge.

Converge is the new name for what we've traditionally called sales kickoff, right?

So the new NetApp fiscal year starts in May.

And we have basically our entire global sales team and systems engineering team out here this year to learn about a lot of the new things that are coming from NetApp.

Among them, obviously, is ONTAP 9.2 coming out as planned this week.

I'm helping educate the team on all the new stuff in that release.

It might have been longer.

It might have been 22 months.

It might have been 23 months.

Generally, it was, you know, there was always one big feature sort of pulling the train or holding up the train.

Yeah.

only when it really got ready to ship, and then there were a couple others, if they were ready to ship, the train finally left the station.
