What the investors want to see in companies financial statements? They want to see the percentage increase in earnings. NOVL's management is smart enough to fix the statement to make the investors happy. .01, .02, .o4, .08 that's 100% increase quarter after quarter. Even though put all together it is only .15 . How to achieve this goal, just cut down executives pay a little and give them a lot of stock options.

>>NT 5.0 already has a number of detractors and it isn't even out of the gate yet. They allege complexities, impertinence, incompatilbities, etc. for all but a select few users. Does MSFT really need a title that recalls, in an associative way, the millennium problem? Is this a wise move? >> Frank: You don't get it. Microsoft IS a millennium problem. Just has nothing to do with the Year 2000 - at least, as you correctly pointed out, until Microsoft stuck a stick in their collective face with the new name...... Windows 2000 = Year 2000?? My God, what is Bill thinking.......???
