Joan,

Just much has debt "exploded" in the past few years? It seems to me that the total level of debt for the Company has remained pretty constant for a while.

Joan: I think you are mixing the debt IBM has to finance the IBM Credit Corp with the core debt. I believe IBM's core debt is a little bit over 1B while the total debt which is mostly debt used to finance customer purchases is over 20B.
