Only in the context of a world where all Compaq warehouses are empty. Being seen to be enjoying myself. Only to Intel s Hans Geyer at an Etre conference some years ago. I like to go for long walks through my warehouses and around my factories. Shareholders, think how well I have done in terms of return on investment and executing on my plans.
Inventory is always a worry.
That and not being able to deliver ROI to Compaq s shareholders. Happy at the thought that I had delivered and executed my plans. There is too much stock in the channel to worry about such trifling issues. I think you know the answer to that question. If you cannot execute on your plans to deliver ROI to shareholders and the TCO paradigm to your end users, life is hardly worth living.
