Capellas helped the interviewer out when asked if he was ready to spin off Av by saying that CPQ's investment in CMGI was going to be good for CPQ, or something along that line.

Tony Viola,
Thank you for the great summary. Are you keeping track of INTC's largest client.<G> I lurked on the INTC thread when I owned the stock. Hope things are going well for you, Paul and all the rest.

Thanks for all the summaries of the CNN interview. There is something not quite right about the CEO of major company like COMPAQ being put in a position like that.

The substance of an interview should be agreed in advance and if it cannot be agreed then forgeraboutit.
