Yeah, but you know how IR works... Day 1, you call in: Yeah, management is comfortable with demand and pricing and we re-iterate the views that we stated in the last cc.

Unless, of course, you happen to be an analyst and the company happens to be Compaq, in which case, the statements on day 2 and 3 are reversed...
