Steeny your oversight on the weak CPQ prices being good to AOL is a major investment mistake and as such you should review your whole investment approach to AOL. AOL everywhere is the foundation of AOL's marketing strategy. They will develop a system wereby you can essentially take it with you everywhere you go along with all the important personal data. AOL will give out a blue chip system to the consumer for e-commerce including free PCs. If ATT has to pay for Media one, here will the money to pay for free PCs come from? TA Good points. I didn't think about the last part--falling computer prices good for internet. It may be that CPQ earnings aren't important, but it is a major tech firm. These earnings often come in clusters. If they have weak earnings partly because of slowing demand, there could be trouble ahead. I could be wrong. May have no impact on AOL-just a possibility.
