Hi, Scott.

The new bookings was fine but the mix obviously impacted the bottom line. You know you mentioned in your prepared remarks that you can see in the backlog kind of what kind of mix was coming out the following quarter; can you maybe talk a little bit more about fiscal Q2 and maybe how long you will take to get back to that 60% to 63% gross margin goal?
Ken Denman
Sure, Scott. We do think that we move back in that direction. I think we will revert to the mean, for lack of a better term, relatively quickly. Again, as you know, revenue comes out of the backlog on about a four to five quarter lag. So if you kind of delve back to Q1 of 2009, you might recall we had a pretty lean quarter, $29 million on the bookings side if I recall correctly. So the combination of a really light almost irrespective of the mix and you might infer that the mix wasn't that great that quarter kind of baked out the way it did this past quarter. Having said that, we did think there is no change in the broad model and we have not certainly signaling that. We think that the model is largely still in place and we said that before that we expect to be in the low 60s from a margin perspective and that is where we are.

Okay. Can you talk about, I think you're on the low teens for Integra upgrades and a lot of customers are getting MAG 6.0 upgrades, can you talk about where we are in the upgrade cycle from both an Integra and MAG 6.0 standpoint?
Ken Denman
Well, we are really making good progress on upgrading and I think as we starting to hit some of our larger customers and from my perspective we are seeing a nice acceleration on customers who have historically been MAG or bit of making their through the upgrade cycle and now bridged to Integra. So it is full steam ahead, we are making great progress. We have been reluctant and I still will avoid putting a specific number out there because I don't think that is going to be helpful from a competitive situation but I will tell you that I'm happy with the progress that we're making, more to be done there, but we are down the road. It is not a question of if anymore because most of our customers I believe it is really just a question of when.
