Hopefully that sentence made sense.
And so if you're smaller, like if you're nothing, then you maybe deal with more fluctuating supply chain pieces.
And things like this memory shortage are a giant blinking red light on your radar because how can you build enough margin to accommodate this crazy change?
I wanted to ask you guys, do you think that because we again, we looked at this with tariffs and we saw kind of what was happening there.
Do you think that we expect smartphone prices to go up because of RAM shortages?
Or do we think that these huge companies are insulated enough that we again, well, they'll just eat that cost and try to be as stable as possible and.

And Motorola came to mind because they sell a lot of two, one, two, $300 phones.
They're a Lenovo company.
They're like small.
They don't have a ton of...
