I was against four classes but if I wanted the multiplier, which most principals wanted, I had to accept the four-class proposal.

We had to have some kind of frequency multiplier,

We went through eight classes. I haven't bought bacon or sausage (since).

Tech companies in general are going to have a multiplier effect versus the GDP. So as long as the GDP stays relatively strong, tech earnings should be a multiplier of that. If we see the GDP slow down markedly, then we could have a real problem in technology. But we don't see that yet.

We'll get a little reprieve from it with systems coming through every three or four weeks, but that's not going to cut it. We had a drought in the summer and it continued into the fall - Hurricane Rita did nothing to stop that - and we're in the winter now and still in a drought.

There are as many festivals as there are mosquitoes after a rain.
