Re: "So how do you justify 7 in December when it couldn't even reach that with the buyback and the traditional pre-earnings run up." Well all that would have to happen is for Q4 tools sales to increase from their current lows which is very likely. Add the new product, if one out of 100 beta test company's purchase the applications server (which I hear is doing great!) that is an earnings increase Q4. And don't forget Q3 earnings of .02 can easily be beat hell I'm guessing they will beat .05 which is what that $2m deferred took away from Q3 earnings (Q3 earnings were actually .05 but the Street treated it as .02 there's .03 in Q4 on top of any increases). It's all hidden in the Q4 stop being so negative. The darkest hour is just before dawn! Hang in there Mark. TTOSBT
