Anomalies like this are why I don't give a lot of weight to the EPS numbers, better to 
go directly to the source, the revenue and earnings growth and look for at least 3 or 
4 quarters of strong growth, and not worry too much about that the EPS number.  It 
can be a good screening tool, but not the final determinant.
