Rudedog, as I mentioned to Jim I stumbled on a report just the other day that indicated that Compaq was increasing it's days sales of inventory in the channel. If I can find the report I'll link it to you.

Rudedog, I found the link. Here it is;
zdinfobeads.com
Once you access the link go to "Goldberg's Insider" near the bottom of the page then once in click Commercial PC in the left margin.
"popping the PC inventory bubble" is the story you want to read.

Dog and Gabriel,

Thanks for the link Gabriel. It shows the CPQ DSO up about 5 days in March despite the specials.

Dog, I think you may be relying to much on the party line players for information. I would not expect CPQ to be announcing to the world that they are stuffing their channels again. Nor would I expect the channels to get noisy about it unless they are getting hurt badly enough.

But we can all use better information.
