The equities market disagrees with you. Here's some more numbers
for you to ponder: (please excuse the formatting)

SUNW CPQ
Market Cap 113.9B 44.547B
EPS 1.46 0.65
P/E 100.34 40.87
Profit Margin 9.6% 2.6%

CPQ margin revenue
9/30/97 8.7% $6.4B
9/30/98 1.3% $8.7B
9/30/99 2.6% $4.9B

SUNW
9/27/97 7.8% $2.0B
9/27/98 7.9% $2.4B
9/27/99 8.2% $3.1B

SUNW has a bigger market cap, better management, and is moving
in the right direction (UP). CPQ's profile shows that it is
a business in transition and it is desperately trying to
incorporate Tandem & DEC into a shrinking PC business. They
bit off more than they can chew at a time when PC's are on there
way out. That was a monumental mistake by EP & that's why he
is gone. It's right there in the numbers, check it out.

If CPQ can come up with a web-savvy business plan, they can
get back in the game. But PC web-servers are not going to do
it for them.
