Why wouldn't you subtract the Kodak settlement, too? Edit: Or would you like to put the Microsoft settlement in "operations?" <g> Second edit: BTW, as I recall they said the announced numbers are subject to adjustment for the value of the licenses received from Kodak. JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)

Sun Keeps Investors in the Dark To judge by the confusing numbers and tumultuous conference call yesterday, Sun may end up leaving many investors feeling the same way. To begin with the nitty-gritty: Sun's quarterly loss was less than last year's, coming to one negative nickel per share instead of -$0.09. But that second consecutive increase in revenues touted in the headline to the earnings release? Almost a whopper. The reported 3.6% sounds pretty slim already, but when you strain out the 3% gimme resulting from the dollar's continued freefall, the progress stands at a measly 0.6%.
