John, I believe this objective is standard procedure for all the companies to get to a daily or on demand closing.. Do you mean that this procedure is an objective? What I mean is that, e.g., it came to light recently through the Compaq debacle where they warned, what was it, after the close of their quarter, that some companies don't know what's going on re sales. Then it came out that they still didn't have a good handle on sales for that quarter until right up to near report time. And Compaq is a "computer company"! You'd think... My point is that I think Cisco is a bit unique in this process. Tony
