You know, we've had so many jokes about that, about taking our pickups to Arizona and all. The answer is, no. America is-- [laughter]--I wouldn't, because I think America is in good shape. We have worked very, very hard on this. I want to thank the Vice President and John Koskinen, who's helped us. I want to thank all the big--the financial institutions, the utilities, the other big sectors in our economy that have gotten Y2K-ready. The only problems left in the United States that we're aware of are with some of our small businesses who basically haven't yet made sure that they're Y2K compliant. But the United States is doing fine, and I wouldn't hoard food, and I wouldn't hide. I would be trusting, because I think we're going to make it fine. Internet and E-Commerce
