David That was interesting Thanks.

What Trimble needs to do now is cut R&D and SG&A 3% per quarter until The combination of revenue increases and expense reduction produce a $1 in earnings and start enforcing its patents.

It's a bit baffling to me -- R&D is often cited as one of the underpinnings of an outstanding company. I just read that Gillette spent the better part of 3/4 billion developing a new razor blade, and their stock dropped too. Obviously, both Trimble and Gillette think their stock will go back up after people find out how great the products are. Myself, I can get by with shaving only once in the morning now, so I'm happy.
