Well you know what I think, I think manufacturing is actually doing better than we think and the entire issue in our economy is this jobs situation. You know that we have worked through all that excess internet capacity we were supposed to have (bandwidth, I mean) and we even have some killer apps in the software area and a shift in the enterprise to Linux which is just as disruptive as many tech shifts and those are good for the economy. We have the hottest of hot IPOs coming next year in tech (google) and even some small upstart startups making noise (Friendster). The chip businesses are humming with asia creating demand. If we just had a healthy jobs climate things would be recovering nicely.
