"then Capellas stumbled at his own analysts meeting" El. I think Wall Street was actually ready to get back into CPQ's corner, at least a little bit, until Capellas's seeming confusion over the growth rate. That put analysts back into the wait and see attitude. However, even though I've been bitching a lot lately, from what I'm reading and seeing, I think Capellas does have the stuff to lead this turnaround. A good first quarter, coupled with an aggressive, positive stance will give us a big boost IMHO. Russ
