Hi leigh,

OT OT OT

My son David , who is special, wrote to Santa for a Playstaion and two games. Santa ordered the playstation from J.C.Penny on line and the games from e-toys. The games were delivered with in two days of ordering the first week of Dec. The playstation was ordered the end of Nov. I received a confirmation also advising me that it would be delivered within two weeks. I called Saturday, 3 weeks later and was told delivery would be made JAN 31,2000.

Herb and I had to run out in all the traffic and join the crowds and low and behold, the first store we went to I found the playstation. Santa sure has great helpers. VBG

Merry Christmas

Dorine

I though CPQ would stop trying to become DELL once Pfeiffer left. I guess old habits are hard to break. This sounds like the same old CPQ song.

Compaq, Inacom mull making tailor-made PCs

HOUSTON--Compaq Computer, the giant computer maker, and Inacom, which distributes and runs corporate computer systems, may join forces to provide tailor-made PCs, according to reports.

Compaq may buy some of the assembly and distribution capabilities of Omaha-based Inacom in an effort to cut expensive supply costs, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing industry executives and analysts. The move is hoped to bring the company in line with competitor Dell Computer, the Journal reported.

Dell could become the world's largest personal computer seller within the next year or two, as it takes sales from IBM, the current global leader, and Compaq, the world's third-largest computer maker, analysts said.
