Re: Ummm, when talking about these numbers, wouldn't it be necessary to condition the discussion with the number of options outstanding?

Here's some data you can use to calculate out options, but it hardly changes the results.

 
 (Shares in Millions)  
                              2004        2003        2002        2001        2000      
 Total options granted        115        110        174        238        163      
 Less options cancelled      (32  )     (40  )     (44  )     (47  )     (31  )   
 Net options granted          83        70        130        191        132      
 Net grants as % of 
   outstanding shares        1.3  %     1.1  %     1.9  %     2.8  %     2.0  %
