Jeff, OK, I see my error now. In most cases the more current numbers are on the left hand side of the chart (at least that is where I am used to seeing them). Combine that with the fact that I am fighting a 102 degree fever, and I hope you can understand. The correct number is $1.92 B, as you pointed out. RE <Well, I guess if 200m additional cash increase from one quarter to the next in a down market doesn't mean anything to you, we don't need to go any further with this.> Again, the numbers sound impressive until they are translated into a more meaningful per share figure. That's the only way to compare apples to apples. You are correct that a mere 42 cent increase in cash per share for a $58 stock doesn't mean a whole lot to me. Eric.
