K - re: "Well since CPQ used to be number 1, I'd say that we are definitely taking share from them." I am actually a little surprised that Merideth said this - not only because of the juvenile tone but because it is not true, and Merideth should know the numbers as well as anyone. CPQ actually gained more than 2 points of share in the US market in 2Q99, so they could not have lost share to DELL - they didn't lose share to *ANYONE.* They lost money, but that's another story... Admittedly the DELL execs have a right to strut a little after their great quarter. But in the past they have not seen the need to falsify the record or make empty boasts. This concerns me a little. I saw some of the same cocky attitude at the annual stockholders meeting and I didn't like it there either. It reminded me too much of EP and EM strutting around in spring of '97 just before they stepped in the tar pits.
