isn't there a chance they'll take advantage of some of the earlier artificially "softened" quarters and tack it on this quarter since we've been smacked around so much? Would they be so kind as to throw us a bone like that just because we've been such good sports through it all? Are they going to save those pennies for a future quarter with even worse share performance? (do they even give a rat's @ss?) -Spank

Jack, Your memory is all too good. I think that we've gotten a little gun shy and are afraid of the Internet Hype label. So let me change the numbers around a little. Lets say that they are flat Q3 to Q4, and given that there seems to be ample inventory but, they were still only able to fill 250,000 of their 350,000 - + back order. That would give sales of 681,700. At some point the streets going to mark them down as not being able to put it on the bottom line. Q3=$431,700 + $250,000 = 681,700 x 7.54% = 51,400 \ 274070 = .187 While it's true that these guy's like to work a conservative book, how much can you hide quarter after quarter. And than again you may be right. In any case we have a hell of a quarter going. Lots of luck Regards Reseller
