I have just read the fuller Kumar report and some of the press comment, especially the Dow Jones article. It is really not worth any more time. It is another case, my Dear Watson, of garbage in, garbage out.

>>US BANCORP PJ decreased estimate for fiscal year ending
12/99 from $1.75 to $1.60 on 03/18/99

If they drop the estimate for the year by 15&cent, drop 4Q by 2&cent, raise 2Q by 1&cent, presumably they have left 3Q where it was. That means they are dropping this Q by 14&cent doesn't it?

This is the second suggestion that CPQ will miss by a mile. I can't believe this would happen but I also find it difficult to believe that we are not in the mid-$40s anymore.
