Jim, Fabulous Call on CPQ and Channel Stuffing!!! You were the first to call our attention to it. We need to keep up with "what's really going on" and not pay attention to CPQ's press reports and proclamations from their leader EP.

Even analyst Ashok Kumar made this comment in a Reuters article on Friday:

<<"It's almost like deja vu," Kumar said. "In the December quarter, Compaq stuffed the channel to make the numbers" he said, referring to Wall Street's earnings expectations for the company's fourth quarter.>>

Thanks and please keep watch over the numbers (particularly A/R's)!

Best,

Duncan
