ZO, <<do not forget they b/c of merger they made entire good will write off associated with three acquisitions in one quarter. If done over time eps would be in 17-18 range instead 13. Zbyslaw>> There wasn't enough good will to offset the tons of bad will generated in the investment community. <ggg> Seriously though, I am not an accountant, but would not the eps be reported before special charges which I assume would include goodwill? In any event, I seem to recall expectations of eps "north of 20 cents". No question in my mind, thank god they made a deal. Good bad or ugly... the deal had to be made. Long term it should work out nicely. Blaireo
