Last point, Jay Deahna figured out that with the operating profit of roughly $.09, a sequential revenue increase of 5-10%, yet a projected small loss next Q, operating expenses were going to go up approx 35% sequentially. Akins or Angus (I forget who) agreed. When queried, he said slightly more than half was R&D.
My point, this is a big increase, and wouldn't be done without a large expected increase in demand.
Okay experts, Bob, Ian, Brian, Curly, et. al., I thought it was a pretty good conference call. My one concern is Akins wouldn't comment on Nikon apparently shipping 10 scanners in 1999. Opinions everyone?
