More about this QTR's numbers

POSITIVE:
Coleman was right about services! They are up almost 200% over last year's quarter. Should expect this to get bigger with the Leader's
help.

NEGATIVE:
Their sales and market operating number maybe getting out of hand?
The operating expenses due to sales and marketing is growing FAST -
well over 60%. Perhaps, COLEMAN should make those sales people
fly coach instead of first class? R&D almost doubled too.

POSITIVE:
It looks like they have $213 million for short term investments?
What's a short term investment that amounts to $215 million?
Perhaps another acquisition (or merger) coming soon?

SPECULATION:
===========
Wouldn't it be funny if they merge with Inprise!!???
Does a BEAS and Inprise merger make sense???
Anybody have a thought about Inprise and BEAS? I don't think BEAS
could purchase Inprise - but they could merge?
Or will they go (again) for some small names that many people never heard of ?

Earnings release:
================
