let's check in with cnbc's
silicon valley bureau chief jim
goldman.
jim, you've been on the
conference call, about 33
minutes in right now.
what is the latest you're
hearing?
>> you know, the interesting
thing, you guys are hitting on
some of the key points, but you
wonder if the company's gross
margins may have been a little
squeamish because you're
thinking maybe if gross margins
were better the company would
have been able to increase its
full-year eps a little more, and
that's what's going to come up
in the q & a part of this
conference call.
did gross margins sink to a
level where 11.20 could have
been 11.25 or 11.30?
are the problems the company is
seeing operationally to meet
that gross margins miss going to
continue on into the second,
third, and fourth quarter?
that's sort of what i'll be
watching...
