vic,, Our definition of "rapidly" is also different. As many others have stated here and other places the cut backs seem to be taking a long time. Yes, I am being subjective, as you are on the opposite side. Many have sat and watched cpq wither on the vine while reaping tremendous rewards in other issues. Some for as long as 3 years,, missing a large part of the greatest bull run ever. Unlike you I believe few would be overjoyed enough to decide this is a keeper. Some may come but realize a new base has arrived at 18 and change,, would not 25 make them extremely happy while the old timers get even more excited. WS will run back for the quick play,, but that looks even less likely with the eps doing outstanding and not even a 1point gain. While fundamentals are improving as you state it is still going to be a very long time before they are improved enough to generate any excitement..

I don't know how CPQ expects to sell pcs if they don't advertise them on tv. I've been complaining about this for some time. All I see is the "Big Q" thing. And speaking of advertising, I haven't seen one AV commercial since they kicked off the 120 million dollar advertising program, 8 million of which was to have been spent on the Monday of the announcement 2 weeks ago. Did I miss something here? Are these guys asleep at the wheel or don't they want pc business??? El
