JDN - CPQ's consumer sales are almost exclusively through retail (I think it is more than 95%). So you would expect the catalog info to be in CompUSA, OfficeMax, and so on, not direct from CPQ. Purely direct vendors like DELL depend almost completely on catalog and other media to generate sales, since they have no retail outlet. I don't think I have ever seen a CPQ catalog... it's just not the way they do business. But all of the information is on the web, you could print it out and get your own "catalog".
