rudedog ---That does not like sound that CPQ was able to get down to four weeks inventory ? Between shutting the plants down for two to three weeks , giving boxes away at cost ( sometime below ) and now having to write down inventory by a billion dollars . I am hoping the charge is for equipment that was giving away earlier NOT for equipment still sitting on shelves . BEST WISHES BILL
