I'm sorry, but some of you people are in dreamland. The fact is that last week this company was at 35/share and now its at 25/share- and the small investors got reamed.
Why is this? maybe it's because this is a lame company without vision, or maybe they have vision but are looking down over the edge of the cliff.
Sure, CPQ makes computers- but they are the Yugo's of the industry! Sound built into the board, video built into the board- sold in junky office supply stores. Oh I forgot our secret retailer- Radio Shack!... what a joke, who would buy a cheap computer from a store run by highschool idiots with the name "Shack" on the banner.
"But we bought Digital", who were the stuck in the '70's anyway.
"But we are partnered with AMD", another looser company with a negative PE, great comb. two looser companies in bed with each out other trying to sell Yugoputers to folks who don't know better.
I know some of you hate this clarification of CPQ's products- but I would really like them to build a better machine with lots of PCI slots- and maybe something original, like DELL's idea of using the MOT PowerPC chip (also used by AAPL) to build a better Linux server box. Lets face it, just selling other peoples stuff without any good ideas of our own is a second rate leadership job...
