DHB, here are some good numbers to compare. IMHO, the numbers do not
look that good. BWDIK

Dec-98 $7,614,000,000.00 $0.59

Jun-96 $4,621,000,000.00 $0.30

One needs to be careful comparing this Qtr to Mar 1998 since Mar 1998
was a supposedly bad qtr; therefore, looking at % increases over
Mar 1998 can be misleading. IMHO
