Mosqueeto, I don't see how anyone can consider a book to bill in the .8s as good, especially given the horrible level of bookings it is .8 of. But, I do know from past experience with monkeys with a buy button that they think a book to bill of .87 after a .79 is a move up. Must be the new math. What they don't get is that if there were 1000 orders, then 790, now this is 87% of 790, or 687. At Farmersville Elementary, we were taught that 687 is a lot lower number than 790. <G> MB
