The press says direct is eating the distributor and channel sellers lunch and that's what I thought you said. Tip, yes I did say that. It should have been point 3). Since we know their lunch is being eaten, I guess I should ask you, "Who's doing the eating?" I'm not a big advocate of the press, but neither do I summarily dismiss everything I read. This also seems like common sense to me. Mainly, I think the pain they are seeing is from what they are losing to CPQ, IBM and HWP. Gary
