    Just wonderful!

    Ah nice to see he's going to address Ingram's usual lack of having stock and never having any idea when/if we'll ever get things...What's that? He isn't!

    Yep, seem's like everything now is going to be so much better for all those who deal with them. Still no stock, still no idea when, still feckless returns, and still unable to order anything with a website which far too often isn't even there. But at least now if we have to call them we'll get a lovely Bulgarian accent. Great!

Ingram's underlying gross margin is down...it's only a logistics acquisitions and Brightpoint that pushed it up by a couple of basis points.
