Rude, CPQ may have grown their PC business at 55% like DELL, but the reports I remember stated that CPQ's ASP (Average Selling Price)was $550 less than DELL's. That is nothing to ignore when you're talking about ASP's in the $1700-$2200 range. Fez

DELL is squeezing the little guys (and some big guys) to get what they want. I love it.
