>>Company CEO Larry M. Augustin said in a statement, "We remain committed to profitability, excluding non-cash charges, no later than the end of calendar 2001 << why doesn't larry tell people when va linux will REALLY be profitable including all charges against earnings - cash and non cash expenses? the bottom line is that non cash expenses are REAL expenses and they count against va's bottom line. saying "we expect to be profitable minus some expenses we don't want to include" isn't jiving with this market - and rightfully so.
