All right. So two questions. First on the OEM side, I think the compelling product we have in OEM is our wireless LAN, which we provide in both SD form factor, which we – primarily in SD form factor, and it allows somebody to design a product and add wireless LAN capability, and to some but not all of the products. And we do a particularly good job on the software elements, and when we sell this it often is provided with CCX, which is the various levels of software inscriptions that are required to support physical and other – well, that one is physical but other infrastructure. So we spend I would say a million dollars a year in staying competitive in wireless LAN. A lot of it is so we have the best wireless LAN in SoMo, and then we leverage that by providing it to third parties, and because of the downturn there was some unexpected end of life, which resulted in what I would describe as missing a design cycle. We're now back in the new design cycle, and we grow that business back up, and that really is on the OEM side. We will also move the Ring Scanner over there and we have, we're working with a few strategic accounts. The Ring Scanner even though it works tremendously well, provides enormous productivity benefits to people is a difficult sales, difficult product from a sales point of view, and we were the bridesmaid in many, many opportunities but never seemed to be the bride, and we pulled it back from distribution. We're working directly with a few customers. We still deliver everything through distribution, and that now is in the OEM category. As regards our friends at 3M, yes, unbeknownst to us they have developed a product for asset tracking, and decided to target that market using the SoMo. They did a press announcement and our stock went crazy, and they subsequently disbanded the group, and nothing ever happened. They have taken the SoMo product and moved it over to their library [ph] systems and our, and basically are now selling a library based portable system based on the SoMo. And we haven't done a press announcement on this. We'd like to see them get a few successes onto their belts, and if they do we’ll certainly do a press announcement. The last time I think you know, the excitement certainly didn't turn out to be warranted and we're reluctant to do that again, but they seem pretty committed to this new product and they do literally own the library market in terms of controlling books in and out and checking people in and out, and their current solution looks quite compelling on the SoMo. That's where we are with 3M.
