Robert Cornell - Lehman Brothers
Well, I am not talking about the quarter you just reported I mean, did you see any sort of late you know fall off in any of your businesses sort of the end of the quarter like you suggested the [inaudible] that came out today?
David N. Farr - Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
No.
Robert Cornell - Lehman Brothers
And, you mentioned that in the process market, you had some market penetration gains, may be if you spend on that point a little bit.
David N. Farr - Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President
I think you have seen us in best quiet significantly both on the systems and the solutions and instrumentation side. You seen us doing extremely well in the Middle East right now on a lot of oil and gas investments and you are seeing us gain significantly right there. The investments we've been making have really... are paying off. To be honest on a quarter-to-quarter basis to say here we have gained a significant level of market share it’s extremely hard to say. I just know the trends, I know what's going on in the industry, I see our sales Bob and I see what's the industry trends are.
And so? I feel comfortable saying that we've gained in the last couple of six or eight months and to say it's specifically what quarter it's hard to do but we've seen very strong pace in oil and gas, the power marketplace and we have a very global network and I am sure John will talk further about wireless, which has been introduced and it's been well accepted and taken off. So, you can’t say okay discount, discount, discount, but I say overall we are extremely strong at this point in time.
Robert Cornell - Lehman Brothers
