What's the concensus on earnings this quarter? It seems to me that although they're touting Visual DBase as this quarter's release, it is really fairly insignificant in terms of revenue, and that the important stuff is JBuilder C/S and carry over from sales of the other JBuilder versions. I reckon we'll see EPS of 5 cents this quarter; I still reckon the numbers are somehow being biased downwards, to create a smooth increase in EPS. At today's 3 cents, annualised, PE at $10 3/8 is about 86. So realistically, how can people expect $25 in the next year? It looks a bit too optimistic to me. I can believe $18, but that'll take a consistent increase in EPS along current lines. Neil.
