Patrice: Yes the short answer is 2 days (not to mention to weeks) can make a huge different to the revenues and earnings, as most software companies recognize revenues on a shipment out basis, not on an actual sell-thru basis (like the semi guys). So if you have a new version of a product with a healthy backlog that ships the last day of the quarter, that can typically make a huge difference. Historically, the December quarter should be very strong. I think however that the downside in this market (graphic software) is way too high for the potential upside. This stock (and others) could go down to 6 in a heartbeat, and I don't feel like taking that chance. Eric
