RE: ETEC growth rate

If you put the delayed sale back into the first quarter sales and out
of backlog at the end of the first quarter (where it would have been without the extraordinary testing), backlog would have been flat from
the end of the prior year to the end of the first quarter. This is a
book/bill of 1.00, not a 40% growth rate. (I recognize that $7 million
items must have a long sales cycle, and we could suddenly see a bunch
appear in an increased backlog next quarter, but this is something that has to be watched carefully.)

Any comment?
