yeah, that f*cking scumbag said turkey day sales were great and shrugged off the GTW warning

from 12/1:

public.wsj.com

"We did see pretty robust sales over Thanksgiving," Mr. Capellas said Friday at the Credit Suisse First Boston Technology Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. "So for all those people who ask, 'How was your Thanksgiving?' it was just fine, thank you."

Mr. Capellas said that Compaq's fourth-quarter inventory levels are fine. "So far, demand is on target. There is no change in guidance from us. We're on target for what we said we were going to do."

Gateway executives said the slowdown wasn't company-specific, but Mr. Capellas said Friday that Compaq sales over the winter holidays' top shopping period were strong.


edit: actually, the greedy bear in me hopes that though Mr. Capellas is likely a scumbag, he was blindsided by this development and was actually being honest, though unforgivably bullish, 11 days ago -g
