Next week is a farily light calendar,but we should at least get some more confessions from companies who aregoing to fall short of guidance as this will mark two weeks from theend of the quarter. Companies often know of cancelled or orderpushouts by then. Of course some may also have already made theirquarter as well and issue upside guidance. Any of these dates canchange without notice and there will be a more detailed release overthe weekend for the events ahead.
