Just thinking about the model. To be blunt, I'm most upset about the APC noted 18-24 month upgrade.

The whole thing sucks now, but it's the environment we're in.. the lack of pricing power, the sky rocketing oil prices, and to make matters worse, the housing/credit/economy crunch.

We will make it, but it will take that much longer to get there..
