burke, we'll see.I think the days inventory on cpq's which has come down from the 70's to 30's will go up a few days.
but, channel stuffing lowers margins since cpq has to take back pcs if they stuffed.
it's in the contract that if cpq let a dealer get over target then they take it back thus raising cost.

So, how do you explain the 27% margins you said were under all this pressure.
the pressure is like I said....on vendors of pc mfg'ers.
