Guilty until proven innocent! The stigma continues. Sure looks like Compaq is making a concerted effort to appease resellers. Compaq has been fairly quiet news wise but this week looks like an exception with substantial news. Here is one more and I'm done for awhile. News article received, Friday, April 16, 1999 8:37:51 AM EST Compaq Notebook Inventory -- Percentage Of Resellers Citing Each Level Apr. 16, 1999 (Computer Reseller News - CMP via COMTEX) -- In contrast to Toshiba, the percentage of resellers reporting shortages of Compaq notebooks has dropped sharply in the past year, while the percentage reporting excess supplies has risen slightly, according to the CRN reseller hardware poll. The 22 percent of resellers reporting excess supplies in March is the highest among the three major notebook vendors and reflects slowing sales. But nearly six out of 10 resellers said their inventories of Compaq notebooks were just right in March, up from 49 percent a year earlier. hio
