FWIW....our company has purchased lots of DELL, GTW, & IBM (laptops) over the past few years...I haven't seen a single CPQ machine come in since one on a piece of vendor equipment about 3 years ago....however, I must admit, I think some of the servers are CPQ machines.... Jimbo.

They're all crooks.... Even worse, Ellison and perhaps other top Oracle executives sold shares just before the company issued preliminary earnings. Eric Upin, analyst with Robertson Stephens, said Oracle executives may have unloaded as much as $3 billion of stock just days before Oracle stock tanked 21 percent in the warning's wake. Ellison reportedly scored a $900 million profit from selling Oracle shares -- an amount equal to Oracle's entire operating profit for the third quarter. The chief executive's actions prompted at least two separate lawsuits -- one by a small pension fund. In a CBS.MarketWatch.com interview, Henley said he didn't know how many shares were sold by Oracle's top executives. He said that Ellison was forced to sell some of the shares he received nearly 10 years ago, or the shares would expire. Stock sales are hardly the only doubts lurking over Oracle executives. The ghost of Ray Lane, Oracle's former president who left the company last year to become a venture capitalist, continues to hover around the company's halls. He also lives in the minds of pundits who said Lane would have sealed the deals Oracle executives left hanging at the end of the quarter. Henley disagrees. He says there's no way that Lane, a favorite among Oracle's large customers, could have saved the day. jajajajajajajajaja Jimbo.
