Doubting Thomas: Sometimes management really do tell the truth. Here is an excerpt from an earlier posting from WSJ "The world's largest PC maker said sales for the quarter ending March 31 were running below its projections because of weakness in North America and Europe, which accounts for the bulk of PC sales. "In January, our sales were lower than we expected and it spilled over into the first week of February," said Enrico Pesatori, Compaq's senior vice president for corporate marketing. "We can't pinpoint it to anything special," he said. Compaq, of Houston, said sales to small and medium-size businesses were weaker. Mr. Pesatori said sales to large corporate buyers and home-PC customers were within the company's expectations, and Compaq doesn't believe the softness represents losses to rivals.
