Now what we can do is we could actually go ahead and loop each of those objects and do some math equations. So you can see we've taken the process, getting the name, the ID, the CPU, and then we're doing some calculation around the memory to get the right amount. So let me just do Run Selection here and it's going to keep going. We'll leave that scrolling for a second. But you can see it's done the calculation and it outputs it in a better format than we had before.
