El, if you're testing the waters to see if we'll let you start whining again, the answer is, "NO." If you start, I'll likely join in, and that wouldn't be pretty. I hate to say it but.... what a dog.... I mean pig this thing is. Thank God I've got some other winners or I'd be toast. Stuart.

I would guess that CPQ would have loved to be the sponsor due to the exposure and prestige, but this is not the right time for obvious reasons. As for Capellas, I'm sure he thinks about it all the time. It's embarrassing when SUNW is selling for almost 3x CPQ's market cap with less than 1/3 the revenues. Besides, he never would have landed the CEO slot if the company was in better shape and if they could have gotten a 'name' CEO to take the job earlier this year.... John
