Good article, but I really do not understand what this fellow is thinking with the following paragraph: [quote begin] Compaq was wise in yanking the authorization of its soon-to-be subsidiary, Shopping.com, but it made a basic error of omission by not ceasing sales on its Compaq-branded sales site. That would have been a clear signal that its intentions went fully beyond punishment for pricing infractions. (It's not too late to suspend sales at Compaq.com until such time as the Internet channel is fully evaluated.) [quote end] Why? For what reason(s) would CPQ shut-down its own internet-based store? It's not like products at the CPQ site are obtained by CPQ through independent distributors. I wish the fellow who wrote the article had spent more time explaining what he meant because his reasons for stating this are not clear to me. Lynn
