Victor -
I have gotten a few messages over the weekend from CPQ employees - interestingly, most appeared to post late last night. they said just the opposite. Every nickle in expenses was deferred to next Q, no expense was too small to be put on hold. And folks in the sales force were under huge pressure to move product.

It will be interesting to hear what EP has to say this AM.

Well, if they are pushing all costs into Q1 and all sales into Q2 (as has been suggested), they I would hope that the 1st 2 weeks of Q2 look good -- problem is, there are 10 more weeks left in Q2
