To All, The pc sales disaster is becoming more apparent and the Xmas lies are starting to smell like week old fish. Another major distributor, Inacom, announced today that earnings will come in much lower than expected this quarter. How low? This, traditionally the best season of the year, will see lower eps than any quarter this year. Even lower than the disastrous inventory glut quarters of Spring and Summer. Ingram is much larger than ICO, but, as I mentioned last night, if Ingram sneezes, the smaller distributors have pneumonia. Jim Cramer pooh-poohed Ingram's numbers this morning on CNBS and proved his total ignorance of how pcs are sold in the process. A little pespective, please. Ingram sells more boxes than Dell. This is not a small hiccup at a co. that doesn't matter. Pc sales be dead. MB
