OK, thank you for clearing that up, Maurice. So you are saying that moving Softimage to the Singapore team was a direct lateral move, not an increase but also not a decrease, in the team that was previously on Softimage (apart from being different people, of course)?
So (for argument sake) if you had 10 people when Softimage was in-house, you had 10 people when it was moved to Singapore? I just want to make sure I totally understand you, not trying to trap you or anything.
