Gary -
re: Companies such as DELL and IBM, which have substantial server business, will not be as affected immediately
As a percentage of total revenue, CPQ does 50% of its business in other than PC products. The figure for DELL is about 10%. So how does the author figure that CPQ is more sensitive to this effect than DELL? Don't mean to put you on the spot, I know you were just commenting...

Gary...I'll have to get back to you about the issues in your post (the article)...

If you recall, I did not call the Barron's article stupid. What I called stupid was CNBC's comment about the article...If one (CNBC) is doing a summary of a story, especially a brief one, it should follow that the brief summary is as logical as the story itself..

Their summary was confusing (for anyone keeping up with the industry).

I really wasnt looking to have the story explained to me, but since you've done it....I'll get back to you on your points...Thanks for your efforts...
