Probably. One other thing to note, Dave. I looked throught the 10-K and noticed that Cisco has about $12 Billion in bonds and another $4.8 Billion in current cash accounts. They only have about $1.1 Billion in corporate equities that may be at risk of having a carrying cost greater than its market value. So that $18.5 Billion dollar figure is rock solid, plus or minus one billion.
