I looked up those figures for DELL's option expenses: Most recent year's earnings reduced from $1.28 to $1.19 per share when the fair value of option grants is expensed. This is a relatively small amount for high tech. As a comparison, MSFT's earnings would be reduced from $2.63 to $2.32, somewhat higher. The companies that really get their earnings slaughtered when options are taken into account are the ones that are just barely profitable. The thing to look at might be the ratio of labor costs to earnings... -- Carl
