Looking ahead, we anticipate a somewhat softer third quarter and, again, a more dynamic fourth quarter resulting in mid-single-digit sales growth... and solid operating growth for the full year,

For the most part, tech in general is not ahead of itself as long as the third and fourth quarter numbers come in on target.

We are confident of delivering in 2006 another year of dynamic growth with record sales and earnings.

As we get closer to the mid- to late-fourth quarter and even the first quarter, we'll start to see how much rebuilding we need. The next big move is going to be up, and it is going to be related to the hurricane.

We caught them in the third quarter and had a four-point lead (40-36) going into the fourth. From there we sort of traded baskets with them.

I think we lose concentration at the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth quarter - think the game is done. In this league, nothing is easy.
