NW: Did HWP change their accounting methods, too? Seems odd that the time of CPQ's accounting change would be consistent with the time of the merger plans. Would be even stranger if both companies had altered accounting methods at the same time. This smacks of bottom line manipulation, imo. You've got at least 3 analysts from 3 major houses screaming "channel stuffing." Where there's smoke, there's fire..... in most cases. I don't like it. El
