Steven Butala:                   So between episode one and episode 1102, this whole thing has just been kind of a tease.

Jill DeWit:                            Yep. Skipping along the top.

Steven Butala:                   This is the meat of the whole podcast.

Jill DeWit:                            Do they really work well? Well, we'll talk about that.

Steven Butala:                   Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free.

Jill DeWit:                            My watch here was just telling me that the window washer's here. It's hilarious.

Steven Butala:                   Jill loves technology. This is one of the greatest things about the relationship that I have with Jill.

Jill DeWit:                            That's true.

Steven Butala:                   She's a total tech head. So am I. Our kids all are. We spend more money and time on electronics.

Jill DeWit:                            It's [inaudible 00:01:19].

Steven Butala:                   We're not like the people who have, not audiophiles, like have to have the new stuff or the most recent technology. We just love... there's a lot of technology in our lives. It hit me like a ton of bricks a year ago, like maybe there's... because I was looking at our what we spend money and our financial statements. I'm like, wow. It's all electronics.

Jill DeWit:                            There's a lot on there. Well, remember when we first launched Land Academy and we had I don't know how many people joined. It was overnight, four times what we thought was going to join. And it was like, what just happened? So, the first thing we do is go buy electronics. We're like, great, now we can afford to get the computers that we need. Some of the equipment that we need. Hey, some better monitors.

Steven Butala:                   Some microphones.

Jill DeWit:                            It was the funniest thing that we didn't go like... we didn't take a cruise. We did not look at our vehicles. We didn't look at our clothing or jewelry or anything like that.

Steven Butala:                   You're really right.

Jill DeWit:                            Isn't that funny? We went straight to Fry's Electronics.

Steven Butala:                   The first thing we did is buy computers that were from this century.

Jill DeWit:                            Exactly.

Steven Butala:                   Because buying and selling land. When you buy and sell land, you can do that on a $200 Dell computer from wherever.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah. We were doing that and then you don't need a fancy monitor. You don't need a fancy whatever. Sort of like, finally, I can get some stuff. Now, honestly our team, we had this happen recently. Not to go off topic a little bit, but.

Steven Butala:                   It's too late.

Jill DeWit:                            I know. Our team,
