Sun's engineers are great! We all know Sun continues to beat world-class bench mark tests even their own. What I don't understand is why CPQ cannot sell PCs. People still want them. I type on an old CPQ Presario 486. It works well! We've never had any complaints about the hardware. A few years back we installed a split MSFT keyboard because my wrists were sore. Now that keyboard is NOT very good. The letters of the alphabet wore off in a year. But that's about what you would expect from a MSFT product: it is shoddy. It wasn't cheap though. But back to CPQ, last night an analyst on Paul Kangas Wall Street Wrapup recommended CPQ. Our very next PC could be a CPQ. So 'mebbe' CPQ will sell a few PCs next year. Mephisto
