After a $2.7 billion loss in 1998 and a second-quarter 1999 loss of $184 million, the personal- computer maker's shares hit a low of $19. Compaq's plan to copy rival Dell Computer Corp. and build computers to order isn't exactly ``crackling,' with Dell saying it can deliver the computers in a week, compared with two weeks for Compaq, Forbes said. Compaq's third-quarter profit was little changed as the world's biggest personal computer maker wrestled with slowing demand and lost market share to competitors.
