"The most significant thing here is that our growth has continued in the face of what someone characterized as a pretty unhealthy environment for our indirect (sales) competitors," he said. "But their problems have not translated into problems for us. In fact, they may be inversely correlated."
"There's a price war for some companies. For us, it's normal, everyday competition, but to someone who has a dealer channel and a lot of inventory, it's a price war."
