Mohan, I thought that the Asian Flu was going to be a good thing for CPQ based on prior comments. I suspect that this is a potential cover story for a drop off in Q1 sales. (It happens almost every year) This year I think they stuffed the old channel. ( I see sales of presarios at retail stores.) Also, they are taking a big risk with the downsizing of the legitimate channels. If they slip they can use the Asian flu as a cover story. In the meantime, I still expect robust earnings.
