<What is a fact is that previous earnings growth has been very good, and we are no where near a computer glut...there are millions and millions of new users still to purchase their first computer, and then there's still the repeat business.> EHF Thanks for the response. I agree with your point, however CPQ made it clear that this latest quarter was neutral, no earnings. The stated reason was due to write-of of 250K computers. My point, CPQ might be able to satisfy demand for millions and millions of users, but as a share holder, I would like to see some EPS. I would like to see them as a leader and low cost provider in the industry. I would like them to be up front and honest with the shareholders.. Reality is quickly turning to perception. Mike
