rhetOric, Thanks. The summer might be a bit flat until September, what with the Wintels crashing all around to unprecedented low prices and little new buying from stoonts until school starts in September and the stores will avoid excessive inventory as it is a killer when pricescrash and that lesson will be plastered into their buying habits, lean stocks. True it will give a kick at quarters end, but will that be enough to compensate for July/August's flatness?

Bill
