Andreas... $1 billion is a major, major miss! GTW's miss in revenue wasn't
that big! Albeit, in percentage terms it was! And percentages is what counts. A one billion dollar miss on an anticipated 12 billion over 12 weeks is no different than 1 dollar miss on an anticipated 12 dollars over 12 weeks. I do think he could have told us a tad quicker. No damage has been done to his credibility, imho. El

Percentages are what count, my friend. I would rather miss by a billion that represents 8% than 500 million that represents 25%.
