First things first did anyone here buy an Apple TV now Mark, you got a developer unit. Is that correct?

0:10.7

That's correct and I also bought four more. Are you being serious? No. Oh, I was like, who are you buying them for?

0:17.2

I thought maybe you were like already doing Christmas shopping Renee stuff. That's the great stocking stuffers

0:20.9

Yeah, they fit right in there. You just I actually might end up buying roughly that quantity depending on you know how

0:25.4

Gifting goes this holiday season, but I wanted to at least like try it myself first

0:30.1

Once the general release comes out and the store opens it up for those apps and I can actually download the apps to it and spend

1:40.2

All right, so what's in this follow up document John that you wanted to talk about with regard to capacities?
