I thought it would be a lot of hassle and a lot of problems. I thought I would save money but that everyone would be into the pot and it would not be worth it. I found out that was not true.

International trade can be very important to growth.
It opens up new markets. With the current move in business towards outsourcing and specialization and given the speed of communications that is available today, I think international trade has become more attractive to business, even the small companies. You don't have to be an Abbott or Baxter to take advantage of the international opportunities that are out there. One of the things we will do is take advantage of our twinship with Warrington, England. Warrington has partnerships all through Europe so they are more than a gateway just to England.
