george: if cpq's systems indicate that they have too much inventory in the channel then they will reserve off revenue and profit and not report that in 4q97. This is why all the posters who say that cpq is stuffing the channel is just nonsense and indicates to me they have never really been on the inside of this business. I'll try to find a post that describes it. This post is the true story of cpq's first channel inventory system. It's even more pinpoint now. Cpq has Sr. financial analyst that are some of the brightest in USA that plan these types of unknowns to make sure that quarterly reports don't have surprises. exchange2000.com
