HIO -- Maybe someone (anyone) at cpq will wake up one day and ask why DELLs shareholders watch there equity go up while cpq shareholders watch their equity (if they have any) be ate away by the inflation that exists in Al's mind. IMO a large part of the reason is cpq does not have an IR/PR dept. They do not have a spokesperson the caliber of Mikey either. No one believes DELLs products are that much better, or service, or ?? anything else. Sure they can put them together cheaper but not better. It is the news and PR that has made the name. Brand recognition! It's on peoples mind constantly--- Some of the info DELl supplies is little other than BS or hype but they back it up and get the product/name out. Yes we certainly need to see the money one of these years for NWs target to be hit--- but it needs a little (no a lot) of help in the IR/PR dept. A spokesperson that is interesting enough to get coverage is required. In the mean time that giant sucking sound is inflation eating equity,,, or is it the competition taking mkt share? JMO (is eMachine a value play now?? <ggggggggg>
