CPQ ships about 30,000 machines every day, 365 days a year

30,000 computers a day? Damn i knew Compaq sold a lot of computers, but i didn't realize it was this much. It's hard to imagine making 30,000 computers in one day.

12,000 machines in total over who knows how long... CPQ ships about 30,000 machines every day, 365 days a year. let's keep this in perspective

rudedog, Yes , it's all about perspective. it was meant to imply corporate upgrades to win98 or NT, it was meant to imply janitors and other non-techs accelerating us of the internet, it was meant to imply Dell's stranglehold dominance on corporate relationships...

By the way, we need a few more PUKING angry jugular journalistic shorties...over on the amazon thread...I'm searching for volunteers? LOL...
