Is it scary to have the President coming? You see, I'll tell you something--the reason I ask the question is you guys may not know this, but I learn from this. Mr. Alexander is our Secretary of Education--where is he? Over here. And he's designed the program that's now our administration program, and one of the things in it is that adults, not just children but adults, should learn. And so he and I talked about--and the thing that I'm trying to learn is the computer. So, what you think is maybe elementary, but for me it's rather advanced. So, it's helpful to learn it on that basis, and then it sets a good example for other kids around the country because they'll see what you can do. You talk about programming this thing--a lot of kids are going to say, hey, maybe we can do more. Do you know what I mean? That's good. Any questions? Have you got all the answers or--don't ask me about computers, okay?
