I must admit that, while 109% YoY is outstanding, I am a bit disappointed. The backlog numbers will be interesting. Let's see if they could not/did not ship some late orders. $.01 over the street shows good management of the process. I don't expect any move of the stock up or down based on these numbers. CC may push one way or the other. Market will do with us whateverthehell it wants.
