Ken, Although I certainly don't believe the guy should be crucified, I do think there's point somewhere here. I mean, all of the tid-bits over the last month were smug winks that lead everyone to expect a blowout. Tossing out blue-sky numbers without firm footing in an environment of uncertainty is a bit irresponsible, imho. The segment was looking at Nortel as the savior. Again, for long termer, just a bump in the road, but surely it's fair to expect the CEO to have a better handle on conversion rates. Let's hope we learned something here.
