Andreas. With all due respect. You've got to be kidding. "This is understandable in light of the fact that cpq and MC refuse to publicize progress on a regular basis. Dell and others and their mouth pieces (ie. Kumar etc.) on the other hand like to shoot off their mouths based on inside info received from dell. " Compaq and Capellas have been hearing nothing but dissatisfaction from the shareholders and analysts since the debacle early last year. They had the analysts right on their home turf for two days just a couple of weeks ago. They had plenty of time to get the story out. They blew it and that's all there is to it. Let's not sugarcoat it. Once more Compaq has shown their incompetence and screwed its shareholders in the process. Russ

Thread - alert alert!! Just got an e-mail from Director of Human Resources over at compork. Here it is. "Dear Andreas, Thank you so much for your recommendations for the cfo position. We are in the process of sending notices of interviews to each of the people on your list. However, there is one person we can't locate. Do you have an address for David Duke? In the meantime, we don't have that much to do around here and thought you might give us your input regarding the following skill testing questions that we have been using to weed out unsatisfactory candidates. ===================================== What should a blonde cfo say when she finds out she is pregnant? "Are you sure it's mine?" ===================================== Why does a compork executive cry during sex? Mace will do that to you. ===================================== Why did OJ Simpson want to move to West Virginia? Everyone has the same DNA. ==================================== What does it mean when the flag at Compork is flying at half mast? They're hiring. ==================== Why do drivers education classes in Redneck schools use the car only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays? Because on Tuesday and Thursday, the Sex Ed class uses it. ===================" Darn!! With questions that tough no wonder they're having a tough time.
