Russ, Glad you took off the table some profits. LOTS of late BIG buying going on currently ... are you trying to get back in before the HUGE run-UP ? Michael

Russ LaCava...RE: "sold the 25%" CPQ didn't care that institutions sold more than 25%. They don't care about your or my 25%. CPQ (Rosen) absolutely positively does not care about shareholders. How much more clearly can they broadcast that message? The blatant disrespect for shareholders was clear at last year's meeting. That message is still ringing through WS. It would time and hard work to change that image. Loki

Hi Russ, I can understand your frustration, but don't understand why a 1.5% difference in gain between CPQ and HWP & DELL would be the straw that broke the camel's back causing you to sell. I am satisfied with a nearly 6% gain today. As investors, we need to understand that turning around the largest and oldest personal computer maker (besides IBM) takes longer than it would a start-up. The way I see it, Dell is a youngster (and HWP is also young in a way because they spun off their other divisions to make HWP a pure computer company-- it's been a while so please correct me if I am wrong, but they used to be very diversified having a scientific instrument division, etc.) CPQ is like the well-experienced executive who no one has any confidence in and wants to retire. Being around the age of one who may be considered an old exec., I want to strongly protest the market's impressions! I am for you Michael Capellas! Chris P.
