<<Like you (I think), I am skeptical of a loss for Q4.(Apart from a further ramp up in SGA and R&D.)>>

Well, if you add in the one time charges category, we agree. I think that one or both of those elements would have to be present.

I still have the feeling that if there are ANY charges that they could take, they will take them in Q4. This year is already a loss, and everyone's expectations have been guided (by analysts anyway) to expect a loss in Q4.

1998 and Q4 will be forgotten 1 day after earnings come out, as everyone looks ahead to 1999. What difference is there if they add a few pennies more in charges? The main differences are better forward prospects and one year from now a more favorable year-year comparison.
