They doubled their surface revenue in the last quarter, they never released last year's surface revenue

They said that Surface revenue doubled sequentially.

Sequentially means compared to the last quarter -- not the year-ago quarter.

From the earnings release:

> Surface revenue more than doubled sequentially, from $400 million in the first quarter to $893 million in the second quarter.
