I actually want to make sure that when we discuss the bonuses, sir, we understand that this is part of a compensation program that is very typical in the high-tech industry. A secretary, for example, used to make $40,000. Typically, if you are an industrial company, you pay the full $40,000 as a base salary. In the high-tech industry, you may pay $36,000 and then 10% as an “annual bonus.” I do think it's very important, but this is true for all employees. The annual incentive plan is not a bonus per se; it's part of your compensation for a job personally well done.
