Time again for one of those stellar and enlightening cc's soon.

I was trying to recall what impact the dollar had on revenue and earnings in the prior two reports but can't , does anyone have a thought on that. I thought that a declining dollar was good for MCRS since that would make sales easier/cheaper overseas. If so that would be good in the latest quarter. Another factor is the economic impact here, on sales. I still believe that if their hardware and software drives efficiencies, they should be okay. A third consideration is the stock market itself which seems to have a better attitude and would treat a penny beat much better than it has in recent quarters.

The valuation is okay. I might get back into this before the report, it all depends on general market conditions . I own that SPSS that IBM bought yesterday and my confidence level is higher. Sure would like to see some growth here or at least promise of it. Margins could use a boost as well.
