Haim, Sure. We put a lot of credence to the power of SEA and yet for much of the area, we tend to associate cheap labor forces as the value to our economy rather than substantial buyers of our products. I used Bangladesh as an example because of a TV show I saw on it the weekend which had nothing to do with economics. In fact, I am not even sure it could be classified as being in the SEA area. But the point is still valid... SEA is both a buy-side as well as a sell-side influencer of our economy. The point is the current SEA impact is sell-side oriented which is reducing our abilities to sell our products there. Because of the economic crises, the buy-side is more favorable because of cheaper goods and so forth and should result in increased SEA growth based on increased sales from the region. Do I make sense? In rereading this I note I am jumping back and forth as to whose buy and sell sides "we" are on. And this is because when you look at SEA you need to look at THEIR buy and sell sides also. Bill
