Gross margins for the quarter versus year ago: 86.6% v. 80.3%. Will check year vs. year ago... Here they are: gross margins up year over year nicely as well: 84.7% vs. 79.7%. They are headed in the right direction. Also, the strong increase in services revenue is great to see. Randy

Great revenue growth- how do you like 43% in a quarter with Y2K looming (what software slowdown?) and especially launching new products. Unbelievable sales force management. Seriously to be applauded. Like the conservative earnings management. Great stuff. This is exactly what I hoped for... "all is well"- Hans, you swedes have a tendency for understatement right??? :^)
