Jim, I have taken a look at it. Thanks for the info. I've tried to establish some type of baseline by comparing it to at least one other company that was in trouble some years ago, and what it's reporting looked like at the time, but I really can't deduce very much from it. You have commented several times on the difficulty of managing CPQ's myriad businesses. Sure, the story is more complicated than Dell's, but I doubt it is more complicated than a company such as IBM's. Yet, they had a CEO basically parachute in and run with it during a time where IBM was pretty sick. Seemed to work out OK. Once again, time will tell how things work out.

John

Check this thread-my inputs-past two years--I said then -- and continue to believe CPQ is an "impotent ,dying,piece of withered fruit"-which will fall to the ground---- one of these days when the truth cannot be "coverted" any longer,
