<<I believe the fourth quarter may show that their margins are declining........the ramp up of doubling their sales force has to start affecting their expenses.....its not cheap to double and train your work force>> As I said - too many variables in any one qtr to judge. Let's say that Q4 DOES show lower margins - does that mean they ARE declining, or simply a short-term effect of the effort to double staff, etc.? What if they then go back up in Q1? Are they rising, returning to norms, or increasing due to the uses MRVC is putting the secondary dollars to? This quarter ends 1997. Let's see then what the numbers say. Which of these is the true MRVC? techstocks.com techstocks.com This picture looks different when you take the longer view, doesn't it?
