My first thought upon seeing the revenues was, "damn, Chris really deserved that free membership to SI." Way to go, Chris! >> I just wish my forecast of what this stock would do was as good. This is completely pathetic. A lot of my forecast was dumb luck, but it was almost scary to compare the actuals vs my spreadsheet on several lines - if i wouldnt have hosed the interest income and tax rate, my spreadsheet was practically the same as what was published. (btw - my cogs pct of 44% was incorrect, i was once again using total cost / gross sales before reserves - my real pct was right on - actual fcst on my spreadsheet was $54,420 vs $54,806 actual). I call it dumb luck because it appears they reserved more than i expected (did i hear $18 million in the cc, or was that the new reserve balance) and they had 5% of revenue as other (rushware?) Still, I am proud to have come a lot close than the so called analysts. Chris
