Pfeiffer would not comment on how a 6 percent decline in top-line revenues could translate into a 50 percent drop in profits... how will 5fer explain 6%/50% disparity.... I think if he did it would go something like this: Sales were so poor that we lowered prices on our PCs to offset the revenue shortfall. Since we had so many computers on our shelves, thanks to the channel stuffing last quarter, we ended up selling the darn things below cost.
