Re: Errors in CPQ data

I swear to you if you look in the Omega List archives I recall being
challenged by someone mid 97 about this very issue and it was CPQ.   I
remember I made a presentation to someone in the office and this was one of
the stocks in a list of 120 that they wanted test on.   I run the test and
didn't check the charts and when I handed them all out they started laughing
because it had this Sea Food company instead.  There were others but the Sea
Food I distinctly remember.  I posted that here back then on the Omega List
and copied the email to Mitch.  So it is something that they have known
about since mid 97... MB
