Many of these companies are through with their full evaluations and are in process of placing their next orders. They haven't a clue as to whether at the last minute if someone is going to want an extra 10 client cards or less desktop cards so it's extremely hard to assign an exact value to a sale until the equipment is delivered and the money is in the bank. .......especially if it is another return But that couldn't possibly happen - could it? (whoever would believe that anyone would return one.

<<"Good, I'd almost really see it done that way for a while. Many of these companies are through with their full evaluations and are in process of placing their next orders.

Please tell us all you're not serious about the difficulty in quantifying a sale when your company is on the verge of bankruptcy? Do you think it might be at all prudent to underestimate? Even by half? Just to get a figure for your future financing? (Notice, I didn't insult you longs by suggesting they'd have concern to inform shareholders of anything...I know you hold purely on speculation). Please Marshall, stick to the bs/hard to substantiate stuff like "many companies are through evals" and avoid the arguments about business practices, which you obviously can't grasp. It's o.k. We know engineering is intellectual, too. edge
