I'm still curious about new product introductions and their affect on revenues, but no one asked that question. I've got to believe that it affects the sales cycle because the sales person has to deal with the old high-end system being the new mid-range and a new high-end. It must take a quarter to get this straightened out?</I. Not really. Their products don't cause obsolescence in previous generations--capability wise or price/performance wise. You may have noticed that they do not announce a product until they are ready to ship in volume. So there is no disruption there. Also, the F840 is the highend of the current line, so it replaced the F760. No confusion there. The F860 will be a new high in the new high end.
