This looks good- but one issue.

I think we need to change "THE PRIMARY FUNCTION of that product"

To " a principle function of that product".



This is slightly different than what we have but since all products are
multifunctional now it is hard for anything to be THE primary function. We
are going to see many more things that have multiple functions. The
proposed wording would require that Info Tech be A PRINCIPLE function of the
product and not an embedded function.
