El......
I know what you mean, I've been here almost as long as you. It is very frustrating watching the "internuts!" while our investment languishes. It better be a good quarter, or we are headed back to the 20s IMO.

If, then, someone cares to have a "guess the earnings" game
for Q4, they can put me in @ .25.


I'll take .40

El -
I'm looking for .40 at least in 4Q. CPQ has a big edge in features and price in the consumer segment, and this is the XMAS season. I liked your 35-38 year-end number, probably closer to the 38 number. 50 in 1Q99 seems easily achievable just based on pent-up value - CPQ would have to actually screw something up to miss that.

El,
I think consensus is .37. Exceeding consensus is an absolutely necessary or we go to the 20s real fast. Compaq needs to make .39 at least. I think .40 is the number they will post for this quarter. Since .40 is taken. I will drop to .39.
