@DanGibson: FYE, Life As We Know It -- what's the difference, really?

....a comparable store sales decrease of 12% for the nine-week period ended January 5, 2008...Total sales for the nine-week period were $378 million compared to $469 million for the same period last year, a decrease of 19%.

Does that mean that they sell online too and had a big(ger) drop in sales there? Or something else, like the twelve-percent decrease was per store and the nineteen percent drop is because a bunch of stores closed?

@dennisobell: I've been feeling that way also, lately.

Oh, you were talking about FYE still?
