The stock ran up since the last earnings call, and the holiday sales were in line with expectations, not great.

We've had very strong sales recently, and we have our fingers crossed for the holiday season.

Holiday sales are not meeting expectations. For the December quarter, it is likely the industry will be down double digits on a percentage basis.

Advertisers' response to PLAY exceeded our expectations, especially given the shortened sales cycle we had around the 2005 holiday period. We see this response as validation that there is a demand to be met for well-focused content that is tailored to readers' specialty interests--particularly sports-related news and information.

Holiday sales have become a vital component of the retail sales cycle for millions of small businesses. Overall, we found 51 percent of U.S. small business owners believe Valentine's Day sales are important to their business and are optimistic that sales will be rosy this year.

This is very much a good sign for holiday PC sales.
