<<Earnings are whatever the accountants feel like making them.>> sure, they can be manipulated, but some day the piper has to be paid... they can only "make" them for so long....

Does it matter how revenue is generated? IPO's or selling products or interest on cash? With the "Large win", Optical can't make enough to meet demand, Today's Extreme announcement, wireless/Fiberless technology, money that was/is/maybe generated from Zaffire not to mention revenues generated from hyperchannel... eps, IMO should be substantially more than projected, beginning with the present quarter a few pennies. Next quarter should be really interesting. The problem, obviously is we need to be informed in detail what the numbers are and exactly what is being sold to who or whom. I know, they have aquititions that can allow manipulation of earnings but me thinks management knows they need to walk the straight and narrow of the law about this. Has anyone heard anything negative about MRV this year? Still bullish on MRV, even more bullish than ever before. Just got to get through this BS old vs new crap. Earnings is still where it is at...maybe not potential earnings driving things at the moment, IMHO. John
