"Now an 'owner' of CPQ [in the 35-45 range], this person is going to be personally motivated to buy a CPQ for home--why not have the profits from the purchase benefit the purchaser (shareholder) rather than the shareholders of Dell, HP, Gateway, etc? What is he/she going to tell his/her friends: What a great computer he has and, when they are ready to buy a new PC, that CPQ "is the best" (whether it really is or not--the shareholder is prejudiced)."
I second that.
I am a PC "expert" in my group, ( friends, neighbors, my bridge club....) so they ask me and I buy and install for them PCs.
Now that I am a CPQ share holder, guess what brand I buy for them.
Conflict of interest?. But I tell them up front. Buy Compaq.
Huppy Hunting to you too.
