Yes, I believe they have missed it several times. ALso, it's hard to figure out exactly what expectations, and when they were set. For example, you have to believe that a 1.0 BB quarter in 8/31/96 sandwiched in between a 1.4 and a 1.3 qtr was not so good. I'm trying to think of an easy place to track the specifics down but am not being successful. BTW, Chuck Phillips, the analyst at Morgan Stanley who just changed his estimate, must be some kind of genius if he can predict a revenue shortfall of $16 MM on a $1.6 billion quarter. That's pretty darn granular. Sure is convenient that it's exactly 1%, too.
