Wayne, He was being sainted on tv all day today, telling the world all the wonderful things IBM has done in history, none of which have occured during his tenure. <g> Fred Hickey seems to think they will be able to fake the next quarter and I have to go back over the numbers. Analysts have low eps estimates, so it may be possible. But I know their hardware business continues to be a disaster and you have to sell the hardware to get the service contracts. So, at 33 times eps, I will probably buy a second third soon, despite Fred's warnings.
