DRRISK, I agree with the guilt by association statement and I would like to agree with you that earnings are the most important item short term, but I have a feeling that the analysts, regardless of earnings, will focus on revenue growth, or lack thereof. Creaf has had very good earnings for the past 4 quarters and the PE has remained low because people felt that the revenue stream was not increasing fast enough (just my opinion). With revenue in mind I am hoping that the recent purchases of the OPTI unit, Cambridge and now Ensoniq, can add a few percentage points to the top line and at the same time not damage the margins of Creative to badly. I hope I am wrong and that earnings are the only factor considered in the short term, because if my figures are correct CREATIVE will net better than 76 million this quarter. Best Wishes Hitch
