<90% of the population have their heads in the sand and their asses on car seats that drink petrol.> Hi Mr VW. But when they buy a new car, they'll look around at what's available. Already, plenty of people are buying a Toyota Prius toyota.com or equivalent. When they see a cheap car that doesn't use petrol and has hardly any moving parts and they can cerf cyberspace while the car drives itself, they'll ignore the olde-style vehicles. There aren't many VWCombis these days - time moves on, all too fast. People want the latest and greatest, complete with WiFi/CDMA2000/OFDM links. Lucent has a LOT of debt - as interest rates rise, profits will go down. Forward P:E is 19. OPEC can fiddle around and sell less oil if they want to. That'll just accelerate the process of adoption of competing products. Mqurice
