Here's what I'm watching with glee (97 results are my estimate):

1993 1994 1995 1996 1997(?)
Gross Margin ?? 48.9% 49.9% 51.4% 53.3%
Net Margin 4.7% 4.8% 6.8% 8.3% 10.1%
Free Cash Flow Growth 173% 101% 166% -11%* 89%
Return on Equity 8.4% 8.2% 13.1% 16.9% 18.4%
Debt/Equity 12.1% 6.7% 3.2% 2.0% 5.5%

*1996 had an unusually large capital expenditure

With that kind of performance I'm quite willing to be patient. Somebody's
going to start noticing this at some point!
