We all know that we need an attorney. None of us want to pay an attorney. None of us are happy when we have to pick up the phone and call our attorney because we know it’s going to cost us usually, you know, in the the one sixth of an hour, right? 10 minute increments, right.

So you can just you know you’re looking at those like big things like contracts or, you know, orders or whatever and you just need to move around. The magnifier goes with you, which is very cool. PDFs, we’re all dealing with them these days. The size of them can get pretty big but sometimes you
