Ramsey, It's been discussed before. It is relevant, though. I think the discussion of growth in unit shipments began in earnest last year. Let me go back and look at the GTW release. As I remember that was on of the first numbers mentioned. I haven't really looked at quarter over quarter sales. I'll get back to ya. Most recent figures at top. Can you discern a trend in revenues? This is a test. Only a test. Sales 1618.9 1727.9 1976.9 1504.9 1392.7 Net Income ($Mil) 60.7 75.9 92.9 -107.1 56.5 EPS ($) .38 .48 .59 -.68 .36 Now consider they had this one-time charge which can cover a multitude of sins. Even so, consider the top revenues and the earnings concurrent with that. Revenues Earnings (both percent of best quarter -- right after charge) 81.9% 65.3% 87.4% 81.7% 100% 100% Earnings are sliding faster than revenues. Great place to invest ones hard-earned money. <g> And don't start with the seasonality arguments -- the trend is bad even considering that. Tippet
