Hi Sig,..Re:.Where in this news release does it say Dell will not meet earnings?

The news release does not state anything about not meeting earnings only that:
For those reasons, Mr. Meredith said, the company considers the effects of the memory-cost issue to be a short-term matter, but one that would be felt on fiscal third-quarter operating margins.
dell.com

But aren't operating margins part of the overall earnings? Or do we only count basic EPS? I seem to remember back in Feb. when EPS came in ok but revenues were slightly less, Dell got whacked because of what the media termed "earnings disappointment"? Just trying to understand.

Cheers,

Lee
