38:34Did anyone buy it for $19.95? And how do you budget when prices move that fast? That's a tough one. I don't really have a need for this PIXIS camera. I mean, but I have to say that price point does look very attractive for the functionality So I'm sure if someone's is getting into like if you would just want to if you want to shoot your own films and stuff
38:56Like that at that price point if you're just starting out that is a very attractive price But yeah, I hear you Paul that is it's tough when prices change But you know sometimes if you just need something you gotta buy it and it's it's the price that it is, you know I hate it when prices go up. It's nice when they go down, but they often these days seem to go up more
39:15more often times than they actually get reduced. So, you know, I buy stuff when I need it. It's tough, you know, I used to dwell on this so often when I would be in the market for a new computer. And, you know, I'd always think, well, you know, this is good.

So sometimes you just need a product and you got to get it when you need it. All right, let's move on to the next question. Can't hear you, Mark. Sorry. Craig Kodoke from Toronto.
