Hi, If you are talking about the Prosignia effort, I think they are doing it retail in addition to direct in order to appease the channel. As for the 'free PC's', I doubt CPQ is giving them away, they have made some deals with other firms where Alta Vista is locked on the desktop, in addition to other features. CPQ might be providing them at a minimal profit, but I have no way of knowing that. I believe they will be providing up to 1 million of these PC's in this effort. Regards, John
