I don't know how long you've been here. I don't think i ever owned this stock, so many others may have a better grasp of what to expect. But last year when i was following it more closely, i remember some mention in the cc about their selling a goodly pct of Mac computers. That gave them a rather niched market which helps them. As i recall their numbers were not as bad as expected because their customers buying in quantity ie governments held up reasonably well. Look back in the old posts to see what the board sentiment was before and after earnings.
