Tom, great move on your part on those CPQ shares (I think). Sure was a gift price being that it hit a new low in October I think that it has now become obvious that selling CPQ into that big run up in the fall was a good move. If the run-up hadn't happened, I probably would still be holding this one... after I sold CPQ it ran up to over $50 and I was kicking myself in the a, but today my timing doesn't look so bad. One thing I've learned is that you can't beat yourself up too much over a sell** decision. After all, you are really balancing between the mistake of selling too soon (and potentially missing more profits) and the mistake of holding too long (thereby failing to lock in profits). My condolences to whoever now owns my CPQ shares. not that silly things like earnings and functional products matter in this market <g>. Looks like things have changed, and earnings somehow matter all of a sudden (at least for CPQ). Compaq has made another low - how much lower will it go? Regards, John Sladek
