"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. It's your money. Should it be in the hands of someone who either a) doesn't know much about what's going on with his company, or b) doesn't tend tell the whole truth. This is grounds for a lawsuit, not that I'm a CPQ holder. You don't miss by 1 billion b/c something changes over 1 week.
