>>>Management guidance for Q1 is for Revenues to be off by 10% - 15% AND Earnings down $0.10 to $0.15. This has been the source of confusion for a lot of people.<<<

Oops...that knocks my hypothetical scenario out of sync, a little. I didn't realize that earnings are expected to be reduced to such an extent aside from the reduction in revenue for Q1.

Why is it that Q1 revenues will fall only 10 -- 15%, yet eps will fall as much as 50%? Is this due solely to the hike in R&D expenses?

Style Pts.
