Captain, I've been up and down, and in and out of Compaq a few times, but not with as many shares. I finished about five foot of one course of stone wall today, and laid about five foot out for tomorrow. Of course it never goes together the way you plan it and lay it out. You always have to go find some new or different stones to fit some smaller or larger spaces. Building a stone wall is like living a well planned life.<G> Waiting for it to warm up makes for a short day. Pretty soon it just won't warm up. I'll take a break from the wall and cut trees and split wood when it is freezing. That activity always keeps me warm in the cold weather. You ought to get a new hobby. One that keeps your mind busy and your body sore. Time goes fast when you're having fun!<G> NW

Do not trust cpq as this is not the first time it fell like a brick in an outhouse... " Captain Jack, to be number one is not an easy task! These ass-holes were number 1, had everything going for them until complacency set in. To get back where they were they have a upheal battle ahead of them and the odds is not in their facour! Yes, IBM at one time was at 45, and yes Apple was under 16, but this has happened to CPQ towice in less than ten years! I have been an investor in CPQ since they went public. I sold out my shares at about 45, but then I bought back at 28, the same number I had sold at 45! I read this thread and see other fellow subscribers in worse shape than I! They are desperate because they got in at much higher prices! Would it get to be 90 again in 2000? Since Moses led my forefather across the Red Sea there have been no miracles! gg Take care, yaacov
