Some random thoughts concerning CPQ: it appears that at least some of the conjectures that Jim Kelley and I had concerning CPQ were correct. It now appears that they have been stuffing the channels, and sell-through is not what they had hoped for. This will probably create downward pressure on retail prices in the near term. If they bite the bullet there could be a big down-draft in CPQ share price as they report on their first quarter.

It would be interesting to see gross margin numbers on the "sub-zeros" as they pass through the marketing channel.

Regarding direct sales and BTO --- "there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip."

Regards,

Paul
