Frank - I followed CPQ VERY closely from 1993 until shortly after the DEC acquisition and still track them (I still hold some CPQ shares), I take exception to a couple of your posts. Of Capellas' direct reports, only two staff positions (legal and the CFO) are former DEC people, and there are no Tandem people on the list. Blackmore and Winkler are classic Compaq. Go a level down to the division GMs and you again see mostly CPQ Classic - The former Alpha and Tandem group is run by a former DEC person, and services is a DEC guy also, but that's it. Given that DEC had nearly 500 vice-presidents and CPQ less than 50 at the time of the merger, I'd say that the CPQ bloodline pretty much wiped out the DEC heritage in senior management.
