that looks f'n miserable no matter how you slice it ... most 'improvement' is from falling billings.

truly, some 'inflation' is this economy's best hope given the debt overhang

That's none too bullish, Sun...bookings remain below October, 2001? Got L-shaped recession? Oh well, at least billings are way down, surely that's good news for the industry. Who needs revenue, anyway?<G>

i have a question about billings being consistently higher than bookings...

at some point, given appropriate time lag, shouldn't the billing number be the same as a previous booking number? maybe not exactly, but at least close? i mean, ultimately, the billings have to come from bookings, right?

or am i completely out to lunch on this...
