El,
IMHO it was a good solid conference call. "We are going to put the petal to the metal."

2500 Wildfire units this year = $1 billion
50% growth in Consumer PC
Commercial PC profitable in 3Q
A return to grabbing market share when they can make a profit in the process.
iPaq has a good margin on it. It is not a loss leader for high end products.
Lots of good stuff.

Enjoy the moment.

NEW SONG ABOUT THE NAZ CRASH JUST OUT!

To the tune of Don McLean's "American Pie"

"Humble Pie"
--------------------------

A long, long two weeks ago
I can still remember how the market
used to make me smile

What I'd do when I had the chance
Is get myself a cash advance
And add another tech stock to the pile.

But Alan Greenspan made me shiver
With every speech that he delivered

Bad news on the rate front
Still I'd take one more punt

I can't remember if I cried
When I heard about the CPI
I lost my fortune and my pride

The day the NASDAQ died

So bye-bye to my piece of the pie
Now I'm gettin' calls for margin
'Cause my cash account's dry

It's just two weeks from a new all-time high
And now we're right back where we were in July
We're right back where we were in July

Did you buy stocks you never heard of?
QCOM at 150 or above?
'Cos George Gilder told you so

Now do you believe in Home Depot?
Can Wal-Mart save your portfolio?
And can you teach me what's a P/E ratio?

Well, I know that you were leveraged too
So you can't just take a long-term view

Your broker shut you down
No more margin could be found
I never worried on the whole way up
Buying dot coms from the back of a pickup truck

But Friday I ran out of luck

It was the day the NAAAASDAQ died . . .

I started singin'
Bye-bye to my piece of the pie
Now I'm gettin' calls for margin
'Cause my cash account's dry

It's just two weeks from a new, all-time high
And now we're right back where we were in July
Yeah we're right back where we were in July . . .
