rudedog, Thank you very much. I sorta thought McKinley might help CPQ more then hurt them. Software and service seem to be key. NW

World-Wide Computer Server Sales Slipped 1.8% in the First Quarter By a WALL STREET JOURNAL Staff Reporter SAN FRANCISCO -- World-wide sales of servers, the heavy-lifting computers that power the Internet and corporate networks, slipped 1.8% to $12.04 billion in the first quarter, with Hewlett-Packard Co. experiencing the biggest revenue drop among the five top makers, a study says. Hewlett-Packard saw sales tumble 11% to $1.53 billion from $1.72 billion a year earlier, according to the research firm Gartner Dataquest in Stamford, Conn. Hewlett-Packard, of Palo Alto, Calif., slipped a notch to fourth place, as Compaq Computer Corp. in Houston edged into the third position with an 8.3% rise in server revenue to $1.67 billion. International Business Machines Corp. in Armonk, N.Y., retained the top spot, with estimated sales of $3.23 billion, up 1.3%, while revenue for second-ranked Sun Microsystems Inc. was unchanged at $2.08 billion. Sun, of Palo Alto, Calif., warned Tuesday that the global slowdown in demand for servers, software and storage equipment would eat into its profit for the current quarter. Even as the server market sputters, the top makers are jostling for better market share. Gartner Dataquest estimated IBM's market share rose nearly a full percentage point to 26.8%, Sun's crept up to 17.3% and Compaq rose to 13.9% from 12.6%. Hewlett-Packard's fell to 12.7% from 14.1%, while Dell Computer Corp. of Round Rock, Texas, rounded out the rankings with a 7.2% share, up from 5.2% a year earlier
