>> It was not my intention to "pin"

A first for SI <ggg>. Don't explain. The pin comment was
just banter. A lot more comments deserve pinning anyhow, IMO.

>> Please check my assumptions on the following calculations:

CPQ post-split shares outstanding is 1.51 B, was 750 M pre split.
Currently authorized shares are 3.0 B (that's what we voted
on to allow the split to go forward). This approximately
doubles your per share amounts (use 1.65 B as the starting
point, not 3.0).

I forget the Tandem figure. 44 M seems high to me--I seem
to remember in the 20-30 M range, but the memory she ain't
what she used to be. Anyhow, it was a lot less than Tandem's
retained cash at the time, and that was a cashless deal
otherwise. Hardly the case here, where CPQ starts out
cash in the hole. DEC charges have just GOT to run a lot
higher - Tandem was 7000 employees and virtually no layoffs.

Regards,

Spots
