The following, lifted at the Zoo seems to fly in the face of what DELL's CFO was saying on CNBC this past week. El Ooops lost it, be right back. jajajaj Okay, here it is. Things Are Even Better Than They Seem by: GottenReal (48/M) 11/13/1999 7:05 am EST Msg: 114512 of 114513 We have not lost 3Q U.K. market share..... Posted 25/10/99 1:57pm by Linda Harrison Compaq and Dell play cat and mouse with PC sales theregister.co.uk From the article: However, Dell lost the number one slot in the UK back to Compaq. Last quarter it overtook Compaq for the first time, with 18.5 per cent of sales. But figures out by UK research company Context today show that Compaq took 18.8 per cent of sales for Q3, from 15.8 per cent for Q2. Dell slipped to 17.1 per cent. Jeremy Davies, a senior partner at Context, told The Register that the cat and mouse games between the top two vendors would end, with Compaq the victor. "Dell's success is a seasonal blip. It has had its products there at the right time. It soaked up a lot of SME sales, and had finished its already finished its transition in portables, whereas Compaq has had top level changes and has been through a portable product refresh." However, Davies said Compaq?s broader product range and wider spread of customers would win through in the end. Analyst Charles Smulders, a PC analyst at Dataquest, agreed. He said: "As we get into the fourth quarter, it will be more difficult for Dell because Compaq has more consumer sales. That works in Compaq?s favour in the fourth quarter." --------------- To get the full article go to the URL above and search for Compaq.

I liked this one, too! NATIONAL SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY SHOW DALLAS by: jeanetterob 11/12/1999 11:28 pm EST Msg: 114464 of 114513 I was at the school technology show in Dallas. I have been mad at Compaq for about 6 months. Boy, have I changed my mind. These people were so positive about their products, particularly the new iPAQ. If attitude means something, hold on to your stock. I was impressed. I have bad mouthed these folks but I am changing my mind.
