Hope he bids on a couple of my small caps... Neil -- btw, I wanna be a analyst with golman sacks too, how much does it pay?

Did it sound like John was poor-boying it on the $800 mm for acquisitions? With the pile of cash this company has, it seems he could pull off a big one if the opportunity was too good to pass up. Yes, it did. It could have been more of a political statement than anything else. Time will tell. Still $800M in the bank to play with could be substantial if we see a correction. AND, if something comes up which looks tasty I'm sure John can go get the money...if he really wants it. ;) Gary
