I don't think macro business issues have anything to do with it. Dan was talking about orders that are projected to ship between 2/1/01 and 4/30/01. Most of the required bookings are either in backlog or in the sales force's desk drawers by now.

Frankly, that answer encouraged me to take a short position in NTAP. I would not expect sales people to have good visibility to "macro" business issues. But, then I am often wrong ....

Remember, though, that Laura followed up with "how accurate were your field projections in the past", and Dan answered "Very."
