JOEL'S COMMENTS:

Well, I'm going to say it, of course! My EPS estimate* at $.06 was "spot on".

[* I did say that my estimate(s) excluded one-time charges.] My sales revenue estimate, at $118 mil was only $1.4 mil less than the actual number.

and, JOEL'S QUESTION:

When the stock opens tomorrow morning (Nov 6th), will it be "up" or will it be "down" from the $5.70 closing price on Nov 5th?
