We were at a crossroads, we were at a point in time where we had to make a decision to go public or to perhaps merge with another entity if it made sense. There were very few organizations out there that we would do this with -- and there's only one that I could think of, and that was Dell, just because of the similarities in terms of the direct business model, and that we have a lot of similarities with the [company]. The problem is that we were at these crossroads, we needed to raise capital, and we had never raised capital at this company from day one.
