A question for the thread. . .

As a CPQ stockholder I see a company that has decided that price
in the PC sector is more important than anything else. When DELL, GTW and the others are still selling high priced systems it is easy to open any newspaper, circular etc and see Compaq machines for $800.00.

Are they subscribing to the motto, "we make up in volume what we loose on each machine" Clearly the competition has greater margins but does CPQ sell twice the volume as the competition? Component prices are falling like stones but can this alone save the PC makers from giving away product.

Responses appreciated
