I did notice that CPQ was compared to IBM several times today when it came to naming companies that would be hurt by Y2k due to the similarities of product lines. Can't remember that CPQ was ever compared to IBM when IBM was on its way up, only when IBM is on its way down. Anyway the earnings and cc go on Tuesday, the Street will probably put a negative spin on it. El

P <"I guess CPQ not only HAS TO participate in such prestigious downfalls but it does so while not being included among the HIGH-TECH LEADERS"> It led the fall, fell with the TECH leaders, and falls when the TECH LEADERS rise. It fell farther and faster than all the TECH leaders... what can it be but a leader of the fallen giving additional instruction on how not to recover? It is no longer on the same list as the TECH leaders,,, but at the top of the leading losers...
