Please.. I'm not trying to attack Trimble's business plans. Charlie has done a phenomenal job in growing the company. What I was saying was that Wall Street (investors) don't give a damn about anything other than shareholder equity. It's managements job to improve equity and survive the process. Wall Street tends to punish markets for individual company performance. Since Trimble was the only GPS pure play for quite a while (no longer pure) all GPS companies have been measured against them. They haven't performed.. as far as the shareholder is concerned. So all GPS companies have suffered. Ashtech has been profitable at least since Boesenberg took over (1994, according to Orbital release).. can Trimble make that claim?
