Or, it could be that they have so much money to spare that they can put more into advertising without affecting the bottom line! RichieH

Jim, I don't see this as CPQ vs DELL.......one would be silly to think at this point that only one of them is going to survive. News, positive or negative for CPQ or DELL is going to affect the other company.... I am pulling for CPQ to have a great quarter......that's going to make both stocks go up.....then DELL to report a great quarter, again making both stocks go up. RichieH

Jim - This could mean that sales are off. I'm sure you know that it takes at least 6-8 weeks to schedule a major media buy and get the copy prepared, often longer, so this could not possibly be a response to slow sales. Anyway every report shows blowout sales this quarter. You seem to have lost all objectivity when discussing CPQ. Do you have a personal issue with CPQ that is causing you to take these essentially indefensible positions? Your posts would be a lot more valuable if you could manage a little less bias.
