I can't wait till CPQ gets its build to order bus up and running, it should be a fun ride back down. Can anyone say DELL in '98 = MU in '95 :) (ggg)

Compaq has been trying since April 1997 to get its BTO "bus" up and running. Last fall they stuffed the channel to give the illusion of success. HP has been buying market share for months and trying to give the illusion that they had a better mouse-trap. They waited until two days from earnings to warn. So what happened to the sales these guys had in their business plan that they didn't get? Do you think Micron got them? Or Gateway?

"can't wait..." This goes a bit beyond warnings or advice. You appear to look forward to seeing Dell investors get hurt. I assume that seeing others in pain is not the way you get off. Is other's success too much for you to handle? I hate to see you doing this to yourself. Maybe you should leave the room until you get your temper back under control.
