Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 2, 2004

Item 7. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition
and Results of Operations

Inventory write-downs - page 16

1. We note that we issued comments regarding this non-GAAP
financial
measure related to adjusted gross margin.  This disclosure
represents
a non-GAAP financial measure and, in light of the issuance of FR-
65,
it appears that your presentation of adjusted gross margin is not
appropriate.  In this regard, we believe this non-GAAP financial
measure cannot be reconciled, as required by FR-65, because the
adjustment related to sales of written down inventory is not
reflected in your financial statements.  Generally, non-GAAP
financial measures exclude one or more "non-recurring" items or
can
be calculated using elements derived from financial presentations.
In accordance with Item 303 of Regulation S-K, we would not object
to
you discussing the sale of previously written down inventory and
the
impact on COGS in a narrative format.  In future filings please
remove the non-GAAP financial measure.  For reference see the
Frequently Asked Questions and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K
regarding
the use of non-GAAP financial measures.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy
of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be
certain
that they have provided all information investors require.  Since
the
company and its management are in possession of all facts relating
to
a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

	In connection with responding to our comments, please
provide,
in writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filings;
* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the
Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.

      In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
