Not going to happen Andreas! How many times do you think people & institutions are going to come back for another screwing by CPQ? There will be some investors but most of what you see will be short term gamblers hoping there will be no warning still coming and the numbers are good. Institutions have another reason not to trust CPQ. Any fund mgr heavy in cpq would be negatively effected. Many look at their funds and transfer inter family daily,, Why buy this one that can see transfers come as other companies move up,,, CPQ is NOT an investment any one wants to take on except gamblers for the short term.. IMO it is joke for a company its size...

ROFLMAO-- Sold to CPQ-- OMAHA, Neb., March 24 (Reuters) - Inacom Corp. <ICO.N> said on Friday it will restate results for its fiscal 1999 fourth quarter and full-year, but the restatement is not expected to have any impact on the present financial condition of the information technology services company. Inacom will report the restated results in its annual report, but said it will request an extension until April 10 to file the report. The restatements will be made to recognize a portion of the previously announced charge to increase accounts receivable reserves. The accounts receivable at issue primarily relate to the company's former product customization and logistics operations, which were sold to Compaq Computer Corp. <CPQ.N> on February 16. Inacom also said the audit committee of its board of directors started a review of matters relating to the restatement. ((--Chicago Equities News at 312-408-8787,

Whooooooaaaaa!!! Wait a minute here. Who said that the deadline for warning was tonite @ 5pm? They still have time to warn and, of course, they can disappoint without warning if the elect to do so. Or they can turn in a report with .16 on the bottom line, which is consistent with the consensus, with .08 of it resulting from the sale of assets and crappy revs which won't really thrill WS, either. Don't forget, this is the pig we are dealing with here. Don't be tricked into complacency or unjustified trust. El

Dear Andreas: Your conclusion seems logical to me. I would just like to add that I wish the SEC would look into matters such as this. It is so typical and I believe dishonest, if not immoral. Dont know if its possible to ever track down the source of rumours but if it is at a minimum the media the SEC somebody should blast the name all over the world. Tice pulled similar crap on TYC and the company asked for an informal investigation, probably to have TICE not TYC reviewed. From my viewpoint, what came out of all this is that CPQ is vulnerable to such attacks, first because their credibility is lacking and second because their management is too timid to respond effectively.
