When s.bateh posted numbers, his posts were valuable.

Now that he posts adjectives, the value of his posts carry similar value as rocky's.

You all are getting gross margins, and net margins confused.

s.bateh is talking about gross margins.
JD is talking about netmargins.

With the heavy overhead, and the crappy unit volume that s.bateh had reported from ingram, this quarter is a net money loser.

what we need to hear from j.sierk is that he is TRIMMING overhead costs, so the required unit volume sold for break even is lower.

Unless someone can substantiate that variable costs for zip has decreased substantially, and gross margin will increase from Q1, all this talk is hooey.

Take a poll...how many people are going to buy a Presario in the next 12 weeks? I know I'm buying a Dell, yes, with a zip.
