rudedog; It's nice to hear some positive fundamental stuff. Did you see my earlier question to you: I can't locate it now. But here it is again. When will CPQ have a firm grasp of revenues for the quarter, subject to fine tuning? I know that the goal is a 5 day turn-around from order to shipping for PC's, but I assume they are still at the 8-10 days stage. Would it be correct, therefore, to say that they would have all orders for March in by 21st March? The second question is can this type of analyis be applied to all other product lines? What is the turn-around time? Finally, I assume that consulting services have finite billable hours and that these would have been booked by now. The purpose of the question is to try to put a date on when the market might start hearing some guidance or some leaks.
