NW,

I know what you mean, I still can't believe it..........
that is such piss-poor management, it's really unbelievable.
The thing that gets me, is this, why not guide analysts lower earlier........now you have a bunch of analysts that look stupid....
what does that accomplish?
I'm sure CPQ thought they could overcome the soft January.....but at some point, they knew they weren't going to make it this quarter.
It will be a LONG time before the street will show any respect to CPQ.

NW,

Just got back from picking up my new printer, the old Cannon Bubble Jet finally died.
I spent some time reading on PC Magazine and PC World and decided on a HP 722C......WOW!
It's amazing what you get for $250.... these days, I'm extremely pleased so far!

Hope all is well, me and Ms.Richie are meeting some people from work at a local Pub tonight........these people are middle level managers....should be interesting to say the least.

Catch Ya Later!

Rich
