Bill..Thanks for the buy and sell numbers. Can you put them in context for us. As they were put they don't mean much. Also, the comment re the buy back being being a PR stunt is true for some companies and maybe for this one too. But as I have pointed out, CPQ has a surplus cash problem. Nice problem to have but still a problem. Cash in surplus can be a problem to manage and given the current circumstances perhaps a wise move is to buy back their own shares. I can assure you the extra cash in DELL will not be used to buy back their shares simply because it would not be prudent. The cash has got to be invested in something from a money market fund to your guess, and at this point my guess is CPQ. Where would you put some portion of the $7 billion?
