*OT* Passing the Time Gary, Why watch the paint dry when you can get into a fascinating discussion about which way the water swirls in your toilet? Alternatively, while we're waiting, we could all make a pilgrimage to Corpseville, where E. Graphs will take us on a tour and Linda will give us a start by leaping out of the bushes and slurring her speech. Then we could all come back to my place and enjoy a lecture from Michael Coley about the science of box-packing, after which Sheila's clairvoyant patient will host a seance where we'll communicate with dead 5.25" 160k floppy users. Gawd, I love you guys. And those of us who're grandfathered into SI get all this for free, too. It's better than Comedy Central. Only six more days of this torture before we get the news. Seriously back to Gary for a minute, I'm surprised that you're 100% sure we'll see blowout earnings. What about the suggestion from good 'ol Jak! that KE is going to try to moderate the earnings growth by burying it in some write-off or other? The historical evidence is on his side on that one, so I'm not expecting a blow-out in the strict sense of the word (though anyone with brains should be able to read the whole report and see very, very strong growth). Hang in there, all, and have a good weekend. Cheers, Tom (long IOM)
