Thanks, Dan. So, yeah -so on Humble Bundle, it's continuing to do really, really well. We're actually starting to secure some high powered, really high powered games in our bundles. So in September, for instance, those of you who know gaming, we offered Overwatch as the feature title, which was a really big deal. We continued to grow the subscriber base. We ended the quarter at record subscriber levels. And we're also seeing some interesting growth. We often talk about Humble Bundle in the gaming context, but we actually offer book bundles and software bundles and those are starting to do really, really well and in fact, I might have mentioned this in the past, but we've even started to offer j2 Cloud Services software in some of those bundles, so some nice synergy there. Just generally speaking, from an M&A point of view, we transacted, we acquired five companies in Q3, I'll just talk about one of them, because I think it's illustrative to the M&A strategy and how we think. So we acquired Downdetector and Downdetector is going to be part of, is part of our Ookla business unit and what Downdetector is, it's the leading source for real-time outage information, it's entirely crowd sourced, right. So, individuals and users are able to report outages, it's just like Speedtest and that the speed testing is also done by the crowd. And like Speedtest when we acquired it, Downdetector's primary business model is advertising. And we believe we can evolve its model from ad base to a data-as-a-service type offering as we have with Speedtest Intelligence. So that's just, I'm not going to go through all of them, but that's an example of how we're thinking about even taking a business that may not today be a subscription business and converting it into a subscription offer.
