Minute right now what we really want to do is talk about the hp xerox. Did we move that up well talk about that now because hp board unanimously rejected that bid from xerox to take over that company its weird it was like a reverse pacman a much Smaller Company buying a much bigger one. 22 a share is not in the best interest of its shareholders and undervalue hp.
