re: . I think I read somewhere that they keep the books in near real time and can more effectively manage consistent quarterly results

Impressive, and something HWP should as should every corp shoot for. It was pathetic that HWP didn't have handle on their earnings till nearly the day of. HWP action was no way to gain support from the street.

tf, the CFO of CSCO is on NTAP's Board. The Chairman of NTAP's board is Don Vallentine. He used to be Chm of CSCO board, but is now a board member (CSCO).

NTAP is not doing near time book balancing yet, as CSCO is, but they are working on it.
