Victor -
I generally agree with your thoughts on AV but you have one misconception which I would like to discuss - once the IPO happens, there are no "CMGI shares" or "CPQ shares" only AV shares. It looks to me like CMGI plans to float about 10% of the shares. I would expect them to do this through a new offering although they could simply sell some of their shares. But in either event, ALL of the shares will be potentially marketable at whatever the current price is, including CPQ's holdings. That of course does not address the issue of the restriction on sales of the CPQ shares - but CMGI will be under similar restrictions regarding their own shares for a while after the IPO.
