PCSS,
When they do it they have to do it in a manner that will SUPPORT CPQs stock price. If they just offer it as an IPO. Everyone will just forget about CPQ and buy Alta Vista. If they offer it to shareholders then people will buy Compaq just to get a shot at AV. For that matter Compaq could have several AV stock offerings in phases. Meanwhile CPQ can use the hype to increase their internet presence.
What happened two years ago was the internet took off. Dell, a direct marketer, took advantage of it and Compaq didn't.
