Does SaaS still have room for new ideas?

for loose groups. Yeah, sure. Um, hopefully that'll be later this year, but it could be next year. We'll see. Do you feel like SAS in general is is is over saturated? Like, does the world need more SAS products or should people start going back into physical things and actually open shops and I don't know. Well, I think that so SAS is a is just a is just a a distribution method. It's a business model distribution method. So, I don't think that that's bad. So, it's I mean I do think there's sort of um I was thinking about this yesterday actually. It's hard to I think the business software market is pretty saturated though.
