I have mixed thoughts too.

It's good that they are addressing the dilution, but there's no indication that the dilution from exercise of stock options will slow down. For the past 3 Qtrs, outstanding shares for EPS calc have grown by more than 10%. The question is not whether they have enough cash reserves for the 10% buy-back this quarter, but will they have enough do to this every quarter - enough to offset future growth in shares. Otherwise, can they grow total earnings at a rate substantially faster than the growth in shares? Let's hope for a really good '99.
