If you check my PM, you will see I work for the VA in SD. All we use is GTW.I was talking to a UPS driver today, he had a few boxes of GTW stuff inside. I asked him if he delivered a lot of GTW. He told me ,Every day. He then told me that they send out 3 semi loads every day full of GTW products out of Mitchell SD. EVERY DAY. That doesn't count Salt Lake. Call and correct me if I am wrong.We took a small hit in this months copy of popular Mechanics.Not a personal hit but it did a test and said that the small companies give you more bang for your buck. Few, read popular mech.There is a small BTO company that I have been in for awhile AMGV,if any one gets bored, check it out. It will never be a GTW but it is the only computer that Wal-Mart sells on line... Bill

I think they have a habit of saying they think the last part of the quarter will be strong ... maybe there's some legitmacy to that argument for Christmas, but a few other times it has proved to be false.

>>She did say she was comfortable with the consensus.<< ah, but who's consensus? the same consensus making little kid in the closet that waitte and his cfo buddy were so comfortable with last q (actually, i don't know who made the consensus - but it wasn't the analysts one would assume made it so i have to guess)? unfortunately, we don't know what gtw's consensus number is. they appear to pull it out of their nether region. ask them, specifically, what number they are comfortable with. otherwise thei statements are totally meaningless.
