How about the DAQ, Michael? And how about substituting share repurchase programs for dividends? I think that it is intellectually rather dishonest to ignore that today's world is willing to pay a premium for growth over value, and that growth comapnies are traditionally low yielding as well. And don't forget that the technology sector is growing at about 4-5 times the GDP growth rate, and has room to show such growth till 2020 at least (when it becomes half the US economy, which I think is quite possible).
