Z - <<but they will do "whatever it takes" to maintain share at their OEMs.>> Sorry, this is incorrect. I'd seen several press releases that mentioned they would "aggr price to maintain share at key OEMs." I read that as "whatever it takes" to maintain the share even it it meant selling well below cost. I read my MXTR SepQ99 CC notes and did see that they in fact had turned away one acct at a customer where pricing was too much below comfy level...(as it turns out, that customer came back and bought MXTR prdcts at the MXTR price anyway). It just seems to me after much thought and reading that MXTR isn't a player in the lowball game. todd
