Tip, A lot of folks dont' know what these orders mean. The quarter just reported, the one with the crappy 19 cents of profit, was based upon orders of $1.03 billion. Now, with $600 million and change, you ain't gonna see 19 cents, at least not without a minus sign in front of it. And the orders will be worse this quarter, which means that 4th quarter is going to be bloody. But you dream if you think it will hurt anybody. I swear they will spin this disaster positive tomorrow.
