Doug,

Am I missing something here? Sales through Siemens were 19%this qtr. vs.14-15% last. Assuming revenues were flat is that not an increase in sales through that channel?

I guess what I'm getting at is the only reason we're discussing this is someone at Seimens or in the Media was wrong. Alan Lutz said in one of the last 2 C.C.s the relationship has never been stronger and with the increase in sales I'd take his word before something someone at Seimens said in the paper.

Now how's this for a senario (this is all speculation based on no fact whatsoever).If both Seimens and Newbridge are a little light on the I.P. side of things and they're both buying companies in the Boston area,does it seem a stretch of the imagination that they would merge the 2 operations to form a subsidiary owned by both with product sold by both?

Now that would be a strengthening of the relationship.

F.W.I.W.

Ray
