Food for thought... Internet investor CMGI Inc. said Tuesday that it agreed to acquire 83% of Compaq Computer Corp.'s AltaVista unit for about $2.3 billion in stock. The deal will make Compaq CMGI's largest outside shareholder. Benjamin Rosen, the chairman of Compaq Computer Corp., serves on the board at Ask Jeeves. CPQ Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Compaq, currently holds a 13.2 percent stake in Ask Jeeves. Do I spy a possible CMGI/CPQ/ASKJ alliance in the cards? This may turn out to be a very valuable property in the future. --Bill
