Motorola continues to expect earnings of at least 4 cents a share for 2002, excluding the impact of some costs.

Excluding the impact of some costs? Same Wall Street double talk that we have been hearing for the last few years. Put all the expenses in, and then tell us what you've earned. No more of the fiction.

Gene needs a raise. Excellent work!

I agree he's been diligently posting interesting aritcles and comments, and deserves credit for that.
But he's also been slacking off in debate/discussion participation.
No raise at this point in time.
