Trevor, Thanks for your information. According to most of the posts in this thread and on the Yahoo, Ratl has an excellent fundamental, excellent products, excellent management team, and excellent...everything. The earning should be met analyst expectation, but I don't know why still having someone like DMG hurriedly lowered earnings estimates, instead of some upgrades quietly missing from the analysts. This indicates RATL may still have more problems; therefore, it still can not fully gain confidences from the analysts in order for them to give some upgrades. Anyone, please give some good ideas how do you think about this company ? Thank you very much, tdt

DMG lowered estimates for current Qtr ? Trevor, any further details? If he lowered for current quarter that's not a big issue. However, if he lowered estimates for FY99 I don't understand. Levy will meet estimates. He not only deferred 10M last quarter, but has a total of about 50M of revenues in reserve.This DMG guy must be awfully cautious or not paying attention. BTW everyone, I have been reading all the posts on this thread and continue to gain from all the information. I haven't had any data to share for some time, but enjoy all your input. Thanks, J.R.
