Mike: Agree that the run rate is simply multiplying the last quarterly earnings (excluding one time events) by four. In the Q case however, the monkeywrench in the works is that a further adjustment is needed to back out the infrastructure division losses to get to $.60 which is the most realistic number to reflect ongoing operations. A situation peculiar to the Q in this specific situation. But there must be others elsewhere.

In any event, your point is well taken, that homework and some analysis is necessary to get to the right starting point. As lazy as I am, I was hoping that with all the sophisticated computer manipulations possible that there might be somewhere to look for a place to start where no adjustment is required. Will use Zach's per your suggestion as the best there is right now.

Appreciate your comment re the Fool. That is the realistic answer - except that you are not exactly a proxy for "anyone".

Enough. Thanks.
