	Well, American sales have never been really good news, so
I doubt that American sales going DOWN would be a major factor.
It is Europe that is probably the stock market's concern.
	Europe's economy is slowing, and the dollar is very
strong so sales don't look so good.

P.S. Re CDTV, no one really knows about its sales. It is too
early to tell. We'll have to wait for Christmas to determine
results.
