Scott, Hi!! RE: Results of the vote will have dramatic consequences for executives and workers at HP and Compaq, and the tally will have ripple effects throughout the computer industry. Walter Hewlett, son of co-founder William Hewlett, calls the merger proposal "a $25 billion mistake" that would ruin both companies and provide rivals such as Dell Computer and IBM key footholds among burned customers of HP and Compaq. HP executives, led by Fiorina, say the recession and bitter competition from IBM and Dell have left the companies few choices but to consolidate to cut costs and streamline product categories. Sounds like a lose/lose situation huh? Best, Kemble
