stephen: hummm.. you raise an interesting point. Yes I have seen that 'cow' from the Dakota as well and even Dell appears sporadically but can't say I have seen one from CPQ in recent times. I don't know I have to look into this,may be they are selling enough PCs to the consumer market they don't need to advertise on TV, why waste the money?<g> And besides on that sub-1000 'job', margin is pretty thin. Also as you know CPQ is not a direct marketer and therefore the advertising could be done through local print media with the help of the now famous 'channels'. Don't tell me you haven't seen CPQ advertised in your local News Papers,particularly the week-end editions.
