Mike, <<A lot of folks don't realize that most orders for the Xmas rush are done and gone by the end of November. December can really stink for these cos. And now there is an inventory glut of epic proportions. >>

Yes, but I would expect that Avnet had allowed for normal seasonality in its expectations and guidance. I thought that it looked like a possible non-confirmation of a business recovery (stock prices or not)for the diversified component manufacturers who are not PC-centric and tied to XMAS.

Regards, Don

MB,

I just bought an IBM 333AMD K6-2 48MBRAM 32x CD-ROM
56K Modem 6.0 GB Hard Drive.
Office Max is clearing out inventory.
The Price: $499.00
This is about $400.00 cheaper than advertised is December, and $600.00 cheaper than November.
I can't see how anyone is making money at these prices.

Steve
