Let's keep expectations as low as possible. Q as much as said there would be no blow out, although they were reassuring the would meet .87. So .90 is a good estimate. An excellent idea. Last year on the Dell thread we used to have a quarterly "earnings guess" where everyone submitted their EPS estimate for the quarter. The result was a long list of estimates that, on average, tended to be overly optimistic. There were subsequent media articles stating that these estimates were a major factor in the calculation of whisper numbers. The folks on the Dell thread discontinued posting the list of estimates. We weren't doing ourselves any favors.
