Dave, I believe that the repurchase of shares,would be to cover employees exercising options. All companies this decade in technology,give numerous options to employees to keep them. And if these are exercised the company must have shares to give them. This is part of the reason that MSFT repurchases,and why their stock continually goes up. Its a self fulfilling prophecy,but also a double edged sword. I was musing about why inflation is so tame,and came up with another reason why wages are not causing a problem. Most high tech employees are getting liberal option allotments. Maybe as they see the stock go up,they are not enthusiastic about asking for pay raises. The government is way behind the curve in calculating inflation in an economy of this type. Hey and I do believe in HLIT and ANTC. Hiram
