Yes, I read the news release where he predicted the '3 to 10' rise... Using a timeframe of 3 years (from now THROUGH 2001), a 37% growth rate would bring them from 3 billion revenue to only 7.7 billion. It would take about 50% revenue growth to take them from 3 to 10 in three years. So, if he is saying revenue will grow at 50%/year, and is also saying that EPS will grow at 37%/year, he is counting on a profit margin DECREASE? I hope not...! Or maybe I am trying to infer too much from what he said. Maybe it's better to just infer that he is expecting SOMEWHERE around 40-50% growth over the next 3 years. Either way, that's a hefty rise over the 30% they are clicking along at right now. Thanks... Loren
