It's a bitter pill to swallow, but It does appear that y2k is having and effect on the box makers, especially HP. Though sun seems to be immune.

re: It's Y2K. The sooner you admit it the better you will feel! No it is an execution problem at hwp just like cpq. also, if I was a hwp shareholder I would be screaming at IR to get the new ceo front and center to individual investors and respond in real terms what the impact will be NOT just to a few select analysts. I know most companies do this on a routine basis but this was very sensitive info for a very nervous market in a jittery sector about a sensitive subject. CEO needs to take responsibility for these problems not just blame y2k like it is some kind of F%^&ing surprise!
