Help me understand this... CPQ earns 34 cents during 1999 and is expected to earn $1.08. MC was "comfortable" with this figure. So....why are we talking about growth of 15-17%? 34 cents to $1.08 is not equal to 15-17% Mikey

'I think their time has come and gone,' Kumar said, saying one of the only attractive things about Compaq is its relatively low stock price. 'It's a value play more than anything else.' A "value play"...the ultimate insult !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajajajajajaja Jimbo.

I'm no expert here, but this is taken from your post: "Revenue totaled $38.53 billion, up 19 percent from $31.17 billion in 1998." Rudedog would be the one to ask, but isn't this significant in Q's overall plan for manufacturing efficiencies?? I recall EP wanting to build a 50Bill Revenue stream, but if memory serves, he sacrificed too much for it. Duke
