Hi Ken,..Re:<<I agree that the huge profits are in consulting>> I believe that this is the area where IBM is growing it's business significantly. I also think that as we increasingly network resources and link to master scheduling/planning Level 3 type computers that these services will be increasingly required. This CPQ/DEC combination shows that CPQ is forward looking to these potential more complicated, and more profitable applications. These opinions are just MHO but if we look to the future of a networked economy, then they may become the norm. Somehow, I don't think outsourcing will drop the $ to the bottom line the same as having in-house expertise. Best, Lee
