"It took IBM over five years to build up its services and software, yet Compaq is going to do it in six months and revamp its PC business?" he asked. Sounds just like me <ggg>. If they want a large services business they need lots of expensive bodies. If a stream of highly regarded services executives started moving over to CPQ from IBM that would be a good sign, but don't hold your breath. It's the right move that should have been accelerated four years ago in my opinion. Now they will be stuck mucking around for years trying to make a go of it. Best regards, John
