If revenues dropped,
If receiveables dropped,
If margins dropped,
If (and we don't know this one yet) inventories dropped,

then LU is a smaller business then we had previously thought... and then we have to hope

expenses dropped, or
workforce reduction announcements

right???? what am I missing?


Stock price dropped..oh that's right we've got that

An attempt at humor on an otherwise grim subject.

Gary, What will network equipment built for deployment that was then delayed for a quarter or 2 do to the numbers? In other words, if inventory numbers are up as a result of this, how will that be perceived? thanks,
