Addi, I concur that it is an excellent report. It looks like gross margins increased a couple points (I quickly calculated from 49% to 52%) which is why earnings grew more than revenues. It is obvious that the reporter (who is certainly no journalist) doesn't have a clue about operating earnings, charges, etc. The only thing I am wondering about (as is the entire market) is whether we just haven't seen yet the real impact of Asian clients withdrawing orders or becoming late pays, no pays, etc. I don't buy the notion that Europe will suddenly become a bastion of growth and save our beloved techs.

<< Anyway, it does not matter! This reporter (or for that matter the whole world) can go on and put whatever spin they want, I, as a share holder, am extremly pleased with Sun's latest report and even more pleased with its next 4-8 quarters outlook! >>

So am I, regards, Thomas
