Dear Dave: It's not the old Hewlett-Packard (HWP), it's the new HPQ in which both HP and Compaq contributions are recognized by both the stock symbol change as well as the announcement today that the Compaq name would not be dropped. It's a fresh start for everyone. Compaq wasn't gobbled like some corporations are. It's a real merger where both companies needed each other. Fresh start for all. Fresh thread. Even at Yahoo! a fresh quote for HPQ started today. They didn't merely modify their information for HWP with the new stock symbols so that charts, etc., equally relevant for HWP and HPC, would show. They could have but they didn't. Not even historic prices for the old HWP are available any more. Edit: Actually, Dave, we had a few discussions over on the old CPQ thread about retaining the CPQ or all joining the existing HWP thread at the merger. The symbols change clinched it for many of us. Neither existing thread was the right place to go. Regards, Lynn

Additional edit to my previous posting: Also, take a look at the opening paragraph of the old HWP thread. I had had it turned off. Turning it on, I really had a good laugh. Not exactly relevant (or appropriate) any more: "Does anyone know what's going on at Hewlett Packard? Last month Compaq said its PCs and PC servers were seeing weak demand and pricing pressure. Also Tektronix announced poor quarterly results in its instrumentation business. Shouldn't HP see similar problems? Or is it a buy here? Also does anyone know HP's internet strategy?" BTW, you made valuable contributions with your news postings on the HWP thread, Dave. I hope you decide to move over and join us. Regards, Lynn
