Rod, Re:Although the book-to-bill ratio is not a highly regarded indicator (particularly going forward),

I think I'm going to have to disagree with that statement. Book to bill is a very good indicator going forward. Book To Bill is a ratio of product shipped, to product orders.

If you have a book to bill ration over 1.0, you have more orders coming in, than going out. For example, a BTB of 1.2, means that for every $1.00 of product going out the door (billed), you have $1.20 worth of orders coming in (book).

Since orders are "Booked" for "Delivery" 2-3 months in the future, it is a very good indicator of how a companies next quarter is most likely to be.
