Re:
"The 8278.0 is Revenues, and Market Cap is 32807.0, yet they are
showing a Price/Sales Ratio of 1.0? Something is funny about that?"

The 8278.0 is for Q4 97. Their revenue for all of 1997 was 29794,
according to WSJ. It looks like the SI chart computed P/S in each
case by dividing MktCp by Q4Revenue*4.

Teri, the revenue figure is quarterly. P/S is based on yearly sales.
Good that you're ever vigilant.<G>
