Mike,

I saw a news release of IBM's 4th quarter. Any comments on what tricks the Company used to beat the estimate? I noticed that even though revenue in 1999 was down, S,G&A as a % of revenue was down from 4th Q 1998. How does a Company that earned less in 4th Q 1999 than in 4th Q 1998 get a premium growth multiple?

Thanks

Jim
