"The first call is $0.09. $0.14 will be 55% over first call. This is unrealistic expectation. 10% - 15% is more reasonable expectation." I don't think it's unreasonable. The whisper number is .13 and I expect AOL to beat it. They can book the excite sale any way they want and if they choose to do so (I think) they can sweeten the numbers on this quarter. That's the trick NSCP was using and just sprinkling it in as needed. Speculation, but, possible.
