NOTE E EARNINGS PER SHARE DATA

The following table sets forth the denominator for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
(in thousands)	July 31, 2011	July 25, 2010	July 31, 2011	July 25, 2010
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	266,925	266,401	266,887	266,922
Dilutive potential common shares	5,834	3,925	5,562	3,814
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	272,759	270,326	272,449	270,736

For the third quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2011, 24 thousand and 0.7 million weighted average stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of dilutive potential common shares since their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, compared to 3.2 million and 4.6 million for the third quarter and nine months ended July 25, 2010.
