Oh yeah and it would have been a much 'smaller drop' for your favorite company CPQ if they had gotten the order.

RE: Drop in the bucket Each quarter, about 20 million mpu are sold. Dell has about 8 per cent market share ~ 1.6 million. 10,500 is about 2/3 of 1 per cent of Dell's quarterly unit sales. A drop is 0.05 ml. A 5 gallon bucket holds about 21 liters, 21,000 ml or 420,000 drops. Your metaphor is off target about 630 orders of magnitude. Next time use a much bigger drop or a much smaller bucket.
