I am expecting $11B and pre-tax income between $700M and 1B. Why are you using such a low number? DEC did 10% pretax in its last 2 quarters of operation and CPQ typically does 7% or better. Look at 4Q97 as an example. Or 4Q96. Or 4Q95.

Jim, <<taxable income of 200MM>>
Assuming historical tax rate of 34% and 1.7B shares, that comes to .07/share. You want to go on record with that prediction? Or you could assume they will owe no taxes and get a number of 0.11. Is that your number? I say 0.38. What do you say Jim?
