Re:CPQ REMARKS------Reminds me, and has for about five years, as a company where it's "emporer without clothes" leader Mr Flubber has gone up to the castle on the hill and told the "big guy"-Hey "I can make gold"-so he then sucks up ten poshy years of good living UNTIL it finally dawns on the King that "this guy" is an increible phony and he finally kicks the phony back out onto the dusty road below the castle.Soon the King will come to! CPQ will be DELLMOLISHED.
