Dear Andrew: Relax, it takes some of the long termers to give up the ghost for CPQ to head back up again. Sounds like we are at or near the bottom to me. JDN

Andrew,
I was very happy to see all the whiners throwing in the towel today. there are countless examples of attitudes like we have here now signaling a bottom. Doesn't it make you wonder why all these people who supposedly hate the stock and have already sold it are doing spending their precious time on here knocking it so bad? Sounds like a bunch of people with too much time on their hands or a bunch of shorts to me. Either way, I didn't buy this stock in the 50's, 40' or even 30's.....so I feel pretty good about my position.

andy--- <<"few minutes ALONE to understand the potential STRENGTHS of this powerful company: brand recognition, NYSE listing, AV wildcard, alliances, international presence, and exciting new products. Add a dynamic and charismatic CEO with a proven track record who .. ">>

Have done that and decided to buy much lower than here. Agreed it will come back somewhat but our grandchildren may not live long enough to see the old highs. Even adding another 1/3 at a lower price than here I do not expect to see that combined with my current at 38+ close to breaking even in years. And for a lot of the reasons you mentioned.

RE:"IMHO you are all a bunch of pathetic WHINERS. Think of ATT and
IBM in their darkest days - before a dynamic new CEO was picked to
take over and revive these industry flagships."....

Well, well, shame on me. Sorry I expected Compaq to actually exhibit some brains.
