(Operator Instructions) We’ll go first to Gary Spivak with Stanford Financial Group.
Gary Spivak - Stanford Financial Group
Last call, you got into a pretty strong booking start in October. I was just curious; I believe you said 45% was done in December. What was the linearity throughout the entire quarter?
Mel F. Wesley
One second, Gary. I’ll get that. This is Mel.

If you need a second there, I did want to ask a separate question and that was given the state of the economy, was there any particular vertical that was less weak, obviously the financials I would expect you to say were pretty weak in the quarter, but was there any that stood out being a little bit sheltered?
Marc A. Cohen
This is Marc. I think across the board, we’re definitely seeing a greater delay in the budget process as well as we’re seeing that deals across the board are becoming less reliable. So what I mean by that is that even deals that were signed off and approved so they have budgets, approval and even run all the way up to the CIO, at the very last minute, we saw deals get put on hold. With many cases, we weren’t told that they were canceled out right but we were simply just told that they had to be placed on hold. We did, if I had to pick one vertical that probably still did better than the others, I would say it would be healthcare.
Mel F. Wesley
Alright, Gary. I got your number for you. The linearity in Q3 was 26, 29, 45 and in Q2, that was 24, 30, 46.
Gary Spivak - Stanford Financial Group
Two more numbers if you don’t mind, Mel. Cash from operations in the quarter and the percent from government in the quarter?
Mel F. Wesley
Cash from operations was just over $3.2 million and the government number, I believe was 42%. I’m sorry, that was last quarter. 31%, I apologize.
Operator
Our next question comes from Kevin Liu of B. Riley & Company.
Kevin Liu - B. Riley & Company
On the large deals that you had mentioned that slipped out, I was wondering how much of that you baked into the guidance for the March quarter and also if you could talk about perhaps the size of it relative to the deals that were closed, if you could go into the verticals as well.
