Jimbo Cobb...although your cpq/intc scenario, concerning the chip purchase is very entertaining, the decision is made on a much more professional (less emotional level). There are probably business incentives involved that dictate the action also. On the reverse side...why wouldn't INTC use a need from CPQ, for chips, to lock in higher qty of purchases in the future... and also use the opportunity to rebuild a possibly stressed relationship (as you have described). Consider both sides. ------------------------------------------------------------------- RE:"Just like a bad stock...market has another GREAT day, and CPQ goes DOWN!!!!" another emotional statement???? targeting EL or CPQ??? Weren't all computer mfgs down today, except IBM? Loki
