Jim, You wrote: If DELL just got 15 cents Q1 and the same number for each successive quarter this year the earning would be 60 cents not 52. Sondview is way off! So I don't see the relevance of your comment> John might have meant fiscal year 2000, which we are in right now. However, there is the problem with the 1999 figure, which is a prediction in March for the fiscal year ending at the end of January. Hmmm. So it isn't entirely obvious that it's fiscal years, either. Maybe a typo? -musea

Jim- Soundview's 52 cents was for LAST calender year (Dell made in Q1 '98-Q4 '99- .11, .125, .14, .155.....comes out to .53...with splits and all, I guess they rounded down...), which can be considered '99 (Dell's fiscal year)...even though it lies primarily in calender 1998 (except for January '99)... I'm not looking at your old post, but I think that Soundview's estimates for Dell's calender 1999/January 2000 (Fiscal '00) were .70/75....so that would sound about right (for analyst estimates)... Which one of us is smokin' something (and if one of us is...can we sue someone about it?)
