Cheryl, Thank you for remembering me. Usually, the only time I hear from you you are yelling at me in that sh-ill voice. But you are wrong. I am not a CPQ shareholder. I have traded CPQ but on the bearish side while it was in EP control. I warned the CPQ thread about CPQ a year and a half before EP left. SUNW is now the company that has the most to lose. CPQ is at a bottom and in transition. In time Scotty will be found out to be another EP.

-- Ben Rosen Chairman of Compaq in a speech to himself as he spoke to unsuspecting CPQ shareholders like twister, Dale J., and Jim Kelley. No missy. As many on this thread could attest, I was very bearish on CPQ last January. Along with Jim Kelley, I saw right through the CPQ hype. Unfortunately CPQ investors dismissed my warnings as nonsense and continued to listen to CPQ management. Come to think of it CPQ investors are a lot like you guys in that respect.

Cheryl - Let's do a direct comparison of CPQ's enterprise business unit and SUNW, since SUNW does not sell PCs. Last quarter, SUNW reported earnings of about $258M on revenues of 3.12B. That represents net profits of about 8.2% Last quarter, CPQ's enterprise group reported earnings of $599M on revenues of $4.9B, representing net profits of about 12%. So it looks like CPQ is 50% more profitable than SUNW, on about 50% more revenue, when you compare the business areas in which they compete. Don't you feel a little silly now about your post?
