What does this iMac, oops, iPaq look like? $500 but no monitor. If this is going to be for home use, one would need a monitor which could be another $200. Keyboard? What kind of keyboard-for baby fingers or grownups? If it can be connected to any TV, that would go a long way. Does it have a modem? It's too early and not enough substantive information for investors to get excited, yet. A new website! Let's say I'm in the shipping business. You know, tankers and all that. How can Microsoft, Intel or American Express help me. Although American Express may have some knowledge of the shipping business, I think. This web site idea -there is not enough information. Forget about the rhetoric. Only time will tell. But I definitely feel Compaq should, if it can, get away from Windows 2000 and/or Windows NT. One day, I overheard to fellows talking about something one of them was doing with a program with Windows NT. It wouldn't work out but then he said he used Linux and the program worked without any difficulty. He said, WindowsNT is too unstable. It seemed the other person concurred.
