So now management is saying that the asian crisis is resulting in slower demand for cpq computers in asia! Oh really. Isn't that interesting. I wonder why dell computers are immune to the asian phenomenon. After all dell reported earnings recently and indicated strong asian demand.

Wait a minute it is all coming clear to me now. Yes, I am a fly on the wall and there is Joe Asia inside a Best Buy in Korea contemplating whether he should buy that cpq computer. Let's listen in shall we?

"Hmm, I really like that cpq computer. But gee whiz, I really am kind of broke. My real estate is worthless, my job is in jeopardy and the cat's got the flu. Maybe I should pass on that shiny new cpq. But wait, I remember seeing an add on my tv that was repossessed yesterday for dell computers. Now what was that 800 number for dell?"
