CPQ already has 2 bill cash. More than enough to leverage a takeover of CS, COMS, etc.

Trey,

I'm sure you're right that any CMGI/CPQ transaction for Altavista would be for stock, not cash. I wasn't thinking. And if they tried to actually sell the stock (assuming they could)...we might discover what a major internet player is really worth.
