Hi Dale, I had noticed that Softbank was on a slide but decided that just as credit wasn't given when applied to Ingrams eps it couldn't be given credit for contributing less. Looks like were seeing more turmoil, it was stated a while back that Steed would step away from the CEOs job and retain the Chairman position, it looks like perhaps management and execution of last quarters earnings fiasco was enough to do him in. I was surprised that Foster was to take over the Chairman position, it left me thinking this was the reason why the street reacted so poorly upon his announcement. I'm curious about how long he's been in the background and how in such a short time he could effectively assume both positions. Not to take anything away from him perhaps my concerns are ill founded and he'll prove himself to be very able, he's obviously impressed someone.. On another note I had purchased some cameras from buy.com at $40.00 cheaper than I could have purchased them from Ingram and after looking thru my many invoices had identified the Ingram warehouse that they were shipped from, the buy.com and Ingram warehouse invoices had the same address. The sad part about this was that had Ingram been a little closer in price I would have bought from them and they would have made more money. Regards Reseller
