It's not that egregious to think that Oracle believed in 2020 that they would get five years of life out of one of this depreciating assets. Then, you know, the next three years they said, yeah, it's still five. And then in 2024, they said, you know what? We think it's six. And the Microsoft one is more dramatic.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
