EL..We have been told sales to the small business sector has been soft. I'm assuming retail and large business sales are on target as well as service. If you cut small business in half (an extreme number) I don't think you approach the 14% haircut Merrill (no friend of CPQ) gave. I cut at most 3% off the average and round out to $0.34 for the first quarter.
