[SOUND] Alright Finally, we have an email from Aeris, who writes in from Harlem, Aeris, from Harlem. Wants to ask about two things that I think you'll be able to, to help us out with as well. Wants to ask about two things that I think you'll be able to, to help us out with as well. Okay. Okay. First thing they want to talk about are Steam Machines. First thing they want to talk about are Steam Machines. The question is straight up what happened to the Steam Machines? The question is straight up what happened to the Steam Machines? So. So. Nothing really happened. Nothing really happened. They're still there. They're still there. But I guess what happened to them is kinda what we all thought was gonna happen to them. But I guess what happened to them is kinda what we all thought was gonna happen to them. They would come out, to a sort of like luke warm reception. They would come out, to a sort of like luke warm reception. And, you know, you can buy one. And, you know, you can buy one. The thing is that, I think a lot of people thought valve was gonna make steam machines, but that's not really what they did. The thing is that, I think a lot of people thought valve was gonna make steam machines, but that's not really what they did. They sorta just licensed out. They sorta just licensed out. That branding to a bunch of third party computer manufacturers. That branding to a bunch of third party computer manufacturers. Kind of like the same concept as Android. Kind of like the same concept as Android. Have other people make it, you know. Have other people make it, you know. Exactly, exactly. Exactly, exactly. So they're there, they are available, I don't know if we've reviewed any quote unquote steam machine. So they're there, they are available, I don't know if we've reviewed any quote unquote steam machine. I know Alienware's one isn't out yet, and a few others aren't. I know Alienware's one isn't out yet, and a few others aren't. You know big name sort of manufacturers haven't released theirs yet. You know big name sort of manufacturers haven't released theirs yet. But it's still a thing, and you can buy one. But it's still a thing, and you can buy one.

Well. Let alone consumers. Let alone consumers. If you are the kind of person who is just having you know, google glass dreams and you are just so excited about technology. If you are the kind of person who is just having you know, google glass dreams and you are just so excited about technology. Then they are saying you know what go ahead we will give you that chance today. Then they are saying you know what go ahead we will give you that chance today. You can be one of the first to experiment with it try it out, because this explorer program is actually something where you can go online when you are one of them. You can be one of the first to experiment with it try it out, because this explorer program is actually something where you can go online when you are one of them. I have one of the google glass explorer units. I have one of the google glass explorer units. Hm. Hm. And when you are part of this system. And when you are part of this system. You can talk with others who are u, using it, talk about cool ways to use it, kind of get developers involved. You can talk with others who are u, using it, talk about cool ways to use it, kind of get developers involved. It's mostly for developers, though. It's mostly for developers, though. Those who want to test out different apps. Those who want to test out different apps. But for those of use who are just kind of learning to use this new face technology.
