Obviously, most people, I'll never tell anybody to swap out what's working.
And they're like—and I met with a gentleman, super nice guy here in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago—and he's like, "This system is working fine right now, but they've gone out of business, so they're no longer. Once this breaks, it's going to break."
And he had individual alarms on units. And it's one thing, again, it's one thing to have your keypad outside, but if you've got individual unit alarms and that breaks and now you got 500 units that people can't get into or it's screaming automatically, you've got a disaster.
So, you know, in place of having an entrance and exit keep out, I got two items that can break. Now I got 500. And if all that goes down and it's triggering every time...
So his concern was it's not broke now, but I've got no backup plan when it happens. So if it's broken or if that's the case, maybe you plan that."
