Compaq: Comfortable with Inventory
Levels

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Compaq Computer Corp.
(NYSE:CPQ - news) said on Friday that it is comfortable with
third quarter channel inventory levels, in response to industry
concerns.

Industry analysts regard inventory levels for personal computer
makers with great importance, since slow-selling products or
computer parts become outdated in a fairly short period of
time.

Dataquest and IDC are set to issue third quarter shipment
statistics over the weekend.

The company said it will report third quarter results after the
market closes on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

Compaq shares closed at $27.70 on Thursday.

rudedog--I agree with you, and disagree with Gore, on the 70% market share standard. But how do you feel about 90%? At that level, as we have seen, a company can take actions which eliminate other companies or their products. Is all of antitrust law bad? BTW, congrats on the cool posts. where do I order my rudedog T-shirt?
