TO ; Who Missed it.. Message 11804276 ------------------ I'll add something , In 1987 I built my first clone, I was one of those many part time back room box builders working in a spare room that helped force the price of Computers down. I even built cones of compaq's old portables. Over the years I'v watched this company and was very critical of it's boxes. Junk I use to call them, and by the yard sticks I use junk they were. I have seen a change, their boxes are better ..hmmm I have always hated the Win/Tel monopoly , but I built the clones because I had enough sense to know what was in demand. I also always knew there was a better mouse trap that might some day change things. -------------------------------- I don't know when , or how long it will take, but the win/tel crapola will someday die down, and CPQ holds an ace up her sleeve I won't go into the details as I don't intent to argue with any brain dead wanabe experts. I don't build clones any more , I'm retired and I just trade stocks , but just for the record I want to say CPQ has a trick up her sleeve and those who abandon her now will regret it later when they look back. Under 20 is, or was a steal on this stock. Jim
