Earlie, only IBM would try to pull this $hit:

4:44pm 07/18/01 [IBM] IBM'S EUROPE SALES UP 7% AT CONSTANT CURRENCY
4:43pm 07/18/01 [IBM] IBM'S JAPAN BUSINESS GREW 11% IN CONSTANT CURRENCY


CONSTANT CURRENCY!? Yeah, OK, I'll count yer revenues in constant currency...the minute your employees start accepting their paychecks in Yen and Euros!!!<UFB>

Earlie, generally there has been a tendency to increase corporate debt, see e.g. the huge commercial paper offerings by WCOM this year. it's quite astounding that the debt mountain keeps growing and growing, regardless of the economic backdrop.
