Mike Ng, Goldman Sachs: Great. Thank you, and I wanted to ask about, you know, as crapple leans more into AI and generative AI, should we expect any changes to the historical CapEx cadence that we’ve seen in the last few years of about 10 to 11 billion dollars per year, or any changes to how we may have historically thought about the split between tooling, data center, and facilities?
Maestri: Yeah, we are all obviously very excited about the opportunity with GenAI. We obviously are pushing very hard on innovation on every front, and we’ve been doing that for many many years. Just during the last five years we spent more than a hundred billion dollars in research and development. As you know, on the CapEx front, we have a bit of a hybrid model where we make some of the investments ourselves, in other cases we share them with our suppliers and partners on the manufacturing side, we purchase some of the tools and manufacturing equipment. In some other cases, our suppliers make the investment. And we do something similar on the data center side, we have our own data center capacity and then we use capacity from third parties. It’s a model that has worked well for us historically, and we plan to continue along the same lines going forward.
