Total gross margin as a percent of revenues was 42.6%, an increase of 0.4 percentage points, as compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2005. "The backlog is the highest in years and this increase in bookings and demand is driving improved business fundamentals... The uptick in demand is due to the game changing technologies we've delivered to market over the last several quarters that are setting new standards for performance, price and efficiency." I am confused, why are you so bitter about this? Sounds better to me. GROSS margin is UP while loss is slightly bigger, to me that means they are writing off a bunch stuff to clean the decks so that as they work through the "HIGHEST" backlog it will be increasingly profitable. jdn
