      Don't get me wrong, I think they've done an awesome job and I can see the use in other fields, absolutely. I'm just not sure this is one of those "we need top talent" type businesses... I'm not even really sure software is their real value add.

  I know dude, it was just a joke. RG is cool tech. I don't need some VC to tell me that.
