El, now it's all coming together... CPQ must be getting married to Philips tomorrow ! Here's your own recent post about Philips: To: Ken Twining (70971 ) From: Elwood P. Dowd ( Ignore ) Thursday, Nov 4 1999 1:42PM ET Reply # of 72143 Amsterdam, Nov. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Royal Philips Electronics NV, Europe's largest consumer-electronics company, and No. 1 personal computer maker Compaq Corp., are in talks on ''ways to cooperate,'' Dutch newspaper Het Parool reported, citing Compaq Chief Executive Michael Capellas, who met yesterday with Philips board member Adri Baan, who head up the company's consumer electronics division, the newspaper said. ''Cooperation with Philips seems logical -- we hardly compete in any areas,'' Capellas was quoted as saying. ''We had a very broad conversation, but you could imagine, for example, joint activities with Philips' (computer services) unit Origin,'' the newspaper quoted Capellas as saying. Philips began a $1.6 billion flat-panel display joint venture with Korea's LG Group in July, vaulting it into the No. 1 spot in liquid crystal displays.
