I think the theory makes a lot of sense. There would be no other way for them to make a dollar on their new "direct model" if they didn't get with it this year somehow.

Funny thing is, though reports keep saying the inventory was cleared out earlier -- well, maybe it is gone from CPQ, but I see lots of their machines being re-sold other places. The inet auction places are full of 'em. Dept stores and RS are always advertising specials, and a lot of the offerings are clearly not the recent machines.

Seems funny they would risk doing the same thing again, but ...

They may find themselves competing against their old inventory.
