Robert,

RE: OFIS $2.8 billion to $5 billion to $8 billion?

WOW! Now that's what is called setting some big goals.

That will be quite a feat if Ledecky is able to pull it off. To grow a company that large 80% in one year with more than half of that growth coming internally... (Am I interpretting what he is saying correctly there? Somehow I think I'm not.)

Such growth sounds impressive, but it in the past it has been very dilutive growth, funded largely by additional stock. For instance, they grew revenues 75% and earnings 70% last year, but EPS only went up 25%.

To me, it's a very expensive, risky way to realize only a 25% increase in EPS.

But I have to admit, it's pretty exciting for "office products"! <G>
