HIO--- MC recd a grant to buy those shares. He will most likely be compensated in a way he will never have to pay it back,,, so we will eventually pay for them if we have not already! Hell, he is only down 6 points-- a friggin piker! I read it as a "GRANT" not a loan. No college "grants" did not have to be repaid while "loans" required being repaid,,, where would you suspect that money will come from other than the bottom line?

Just hlpinout, hlpinout: CPQ is out of switchs and routers: "Going forward, we will no longer offer Compaq-branded enterprise network products; products will be provided under the respective partner brand." _____________________________ Compaq Moves to Deliver Complete eInfrastructure Solutions Dear Valued Customer, Recently Compaq has taken several significant steps to increase our ability to serve the needs of you, our enterprise networking customers. We want to take this opportunity to describe how these changes will deliver expanded products and services to support your network infrastructure. Compaq's Strategy Compaq is committed to being the industry's leading supplier of highly available, secure, manageable solutions - Compaq Non-Stopä solutions - which scale easily to support today's dynamic business environments. Compaq has formed its Enterprise Solutions and Services Group to deliver the computing platforms, applications, infrastructure, and services necessary to support enterprise customers. Compaq will do much more than provide these key solution components. We are also investing in solutions engineering to integrate, test, and "tune" these components to deliver complete, reliable solutions. In addition, we are building upon our strategic relationships with leading application and technology partners such as Cabletron Systems to ensure optimal availability of critical solutions throughout the enterprise. Providing the Infrastructure To date, Compaq has focused its network infrastructure efforts on the campus LAN; specifically, Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switching products under the Compaq brand. However, many of you have indicated that you need an even broader range of network infrastructure choices to support your evolving eBusiness. Compaq is committed with our partners to providing this complete range of infrastructure products and services. To accomplish this objective, Compaq will partner with leading network industry suppliers such as Cabletron. Going forward, we will no longer offer Compaq-branded enterprise network products; products will be provided under the respective partner brand. This strategy will ensure customers a rich product set with the shortest "time to solution". In keeping with our demonstrated commitment to protecting your investments in Compaq products, Compaq and its partners will continue to provide ongoing support for installed, branded networking products, as well as a smooth evolution to new technologies and partnerships. We appreciate and value our relationship with you. We look forward to expanding that relationship as we provide you the robust infrastructure products and services to implement effective Compaq Non-Stopä solutions.

Thank you. William "BJ" Johnson Vice President and General Manager NonStop eBusiness Solutions Division
