All business is affected by the housing downturn, but our a lot less
than most. They can't close down prisons, nursing homes or schools
because of the housing downturn, in fact their needs are increasing,
but their fuel cost are skyrocketing and they have to cut back on
something. We had Electrical contractors coming out of the woodwork
bidding against because their industrical work is drying up. Our
suppliers sell to many sectors and they are starting to hurt. The one
that called me today sells telephone systems mainly to industry, small
business and motels and he's hurting.

I don't know, I'm just telling what I see myself.
