You're welcome Betty. Did you catch the discussion about book/bill? DW said that Q1 is usually a book/bill <1 because of seasonal issues, especially sales rep incentives in Q4, which pulls some Q1 business foward into Q4 and build a backlog which is shipped in Q1. I am comfortable with that explanation. I have lived it many times.

Network Appliance Shares Fall: After-Hours Trading New York, Aug. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Network Appliance Inc. was among stocks that declined the most in extended trading after the company reported ``disappointing'' revenue growth in its fiscal first quarter. Shares fell 4 1/4 to 86 1/2 after the maker of computers that store and deliver files on computer networks said first-quarter revenue rose 16 percent from the fiscal fourth quarter. At the same time, profit fell 63 percent from the year-ago first quarter. Sunnyvale, California-based Network Appliance reported earnings after exchanges closed at 4 p.m. New York time. The company's chief executive officer Daniel Warmenhoven called the revenue results ``disappointing,'' compared with fourth-quarter sales that rose 32 percent sequentially. More than 380,000 Network Appliance shares changed hands in extended trading. Shares rose 2 1/16 during regular trading. Greg-->Don't shoot the messenger please.
