Hi Mohan,..Re:.NAPM Mfg Index and stuff-Just beautiful The numbers looked good. Not only that, import orders down and export orders up - you know what that might do to 2Q GDP?<g> Let's just hope Alan and his friends abandon this 2-3% growth rate as the economy's speed limit. <g> You been having trouble with SI this morning? I keep getting "Server Error" and it's been down for a long time. It's not my ISP because SI is contacted almost immediately but then there's a lonnnng wait. Also, other sites load quickly. Must be their beta site crashing the servers? Best, Lee
