Mike: On the notion that their estimates are no better'n mine, and mine are my own, here we go. Q1/Q1, Qcom went from .11 to .22....a double Q2/Q2, Qcom went from <.07) to .25...a .32 gain. Q3 Q earned .09 in '99, if it can match the Q2 Gain, it's .41 (Multex says .28) Q4 Q earned .18 in '99, if it can match the Q2 Gain, it's .50...against a forecast .54. The Multex forecast for Q3 is .09 to .28...better than a triple, and that in 99, Q4 was double Q3. Repeat for Q4 in '00, then we have .56. So, I can mix and match and add these up to get either $1.38, $1.41, or $1.43. Throw in a nickel surprise for Q3 and Q4 and you're in $1.50 territory. Might not happen, but I don't think I'm out there in la-la land. Not your kind of homework, Mike, so in reality I probably haven't saved you any effort at all. The reason I say that is because I hope you'll comment on what I've arrived at. <gg> Chaz PS: If Q3 comes in at .41, a .56 Q4 would be a disappointment.
