<Ten, look like you did not have time to read the statement carefully this time. It is the commercial segment that cost CPQ trouble. Last time I checked, Intel's chips are predominantly used in CPQ's commercial PC lines.>

And why is this totally unrelated to the retail segment? Compaq isn't going to say that their retail line of computers wasn't making any money, because that's like saying that the sky is blue. Instead, Compaq was hoping that the profits from the commercial sector can finance their retail market efforts.
