Jeff - With devaluation, Rs 40 /1 US $, it will take fewere dollars to pay for Indian body shop salaries, not more. Therefore, IMRS, CBSL, and SYNT margins should go up, not down. Devaluation is a consequence of the Asian financial crisis - Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Japan, etc. (PRC China is an exception. They may or may not devalue their currency!!! Its a different system there.) May be its a good time for a cheap vacation in Asia with your y2k profits. Ram

Jeff, Since the rupee is weakening against the dollar it will take less $ to pay for rupee based costs. Alex Brown in their latest IMRS report says Asian currency crisis should benefit IMRS. Indian people costs are 30% of revenue. A 10% reduction might reduce costs sufficently to add .02-.03$/share in December quarter.
