year chunks, it’s totally different every 10 years. We just keep evolving. I really can’t tell you what we’re going to look like 10 years from now because I really don’t know. It all depends on what opportunities come up. Harris : Jeff (Pallini) has a different perspective from a machinery builder. Pallini, what are you seeing? What’s one of the bigger pivots you’ve made? Pallini: I think that when we chose to start the company, we had to figure out what our business model was going to be, who we were going to be, what was going to dif- ferentiate us because there’s some exceptional machinery companies out there that we compete with.
