Okay. I think we're live. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are, everybody. I'm Chris Danely, your friendly neighborhood semiconductor analyst here Citigroup. It's our pleasure next up to have, Texas Instruments. I think I say this every year at our tech conference, we've had a buy on them since 2012. So using my sell-side monkey map, I think that's about 9 years. Why we had to buy on them for so long? Well, as we coined the term, many years ago, we believe that TI is the Snuggy of semiconductors. It is basically the definition of compounding it. You see consistent market-leading returns, whether it's earnings growth or dividends. And here today, we have Rich Templeton, the Chairman, President, CEO, and all-around good guy, in charge of Texas Instruments. Rich, thanks for coming on.
