Tb,
When i woke up this morning and heard the HP/Cpq news my first thought was GE. I was just too chicken to write it in my post. Especially after the Honeywell fiasco plus much weakness in their own stock, Sun could solve both these problems in one strategic move here at what should turn out to be the nasdaq bottom. And who would wind up as ceo to replace welch in that scenario. When there were ibm/dell rumors last year Mikey was talked about as Gerstners heir. Just brainstorming here. No attacks please. mike

PS Rumors on friday that cisco would be buying ciena, scmr or tlab. So this m&a activity may really pick up now.

At the moment, it looks to me like the HP-CPQ deal is mostly to the benefit of DELL and EEEE, as judged by stock price.

I have EEEE, so I can't complain.

JMHO.
