Sasha..Mason said that the quarter was back-end loaded, but they should know exactly where they will be by now. I'm not certain how waiting to set an earnings date jibes with this, DEC and all. Too many variables, but like you, I believe there could be some positive news in here somewhere. Elwood P.

Sasha...RE:"-I know my nation,I speak his (EP)language, I was raised in his society." Do you know the story that almost every German father tells his children? ------------------------------------------------------------------ STORY A guy has a dog whom he leaves with a friend. The friend is asked to take care of the dog while the owner goes on vacation. The friend must do 3 things for the dog every day. 1. Feed him 2. Take him for a walk 3. Do a really big favor every day Upon returning to the house, the owner hears his dog howling in pain. He bursts into the room to catch his friend spinning the dog around the room by his tail. The owner asks, "what are doing?" Friend,"what you asked me to do." Owner,"Did you feed him and take him for a walk?" Friend,"yes,...and now I am doing him a favor. Just think how happy he will be when I put him down." ----------------------------------------------------------------- MORAL If one exaggerates a situation negatively, just think how happy people will be to have status quo, again. Have we been spun around the room with CPQ share price...and will be happy to have the same price as January 1, 1998, again? Sasha (Alexander?), have you heard this story before? Loki
