5fer the 'propaganda-guy'.

scott:This 5fer guy cracks me up,according to him, it seems, everything that is said by others (only the ones that hurts CPQ's image) about CPQ and the industry is propaganda. Was this guy just makig this Q&A up or was it for real I wonder.

Here are some examples form you post:

Q. DELL is gaining market share on you in the commercial end.
A. No it isn't that's part of its propaganda.

Q. You say your problems are industry wide but everybody else says the industry is fine - DELL, HWP contradict you. Intel results contradict you.

A. There is a degree of propaganada going on. Industry sales were off about 5% from forecasts. Our competitors fought for market share by lowering prices. You will see.

Stockman Scott, what a great posting...are you sure that 5fer didn't post it? <ggg> Here's a link to another 5fer article...

Nothing but spin control...its time 5fer left the company...I'm sure the stock would jump 20%.

PS: On second thought, 5fer should stay...he's the best ally that Dell has.
