Hi Shack, I think they are just going to eat the quarter. They scrambled like mad to get everything into the last quarter to meet. They obviously sacrificed the next, somehow 'hoping' things would turn (smoooooottthhhh move), and they'd still 'meet'. They didn't, so I bet they don't make the same mistake again by back-end loading (I'm actually hoping management learned something <g>). Says something about management, imo. How they didn't warn in November when everyone else was, is beyond me. It didnt even do their share price any good. NT moved exactly with the CSCO's of the world that did warn. Very strange. The two best companies with lowering and attaining expectations are INTC and MSFT, imo. They very rarely miss (MSFT never, I think) and if they do it isn't by much and the stock has a nice soft landing. With some common sense and following those companies' managemental leads, maybe NT can avoid further October '00 and Feb '01 debacles.
