Thread, The Compaq Server announcements and Fibre Channel announcement yesterday carry far more potential profits than the sub $1000 PCs. I can hardly wait for CPQ to ship Fibre Channel hardware and those wonderful 9 and 18 gig drives that they make tons-o-money on! Did ya ever notice how the end of Compaq's press releases don't highlight it as the largest PC company? A couple of years ago they started highlighting how they were the 5-th largest COMPUTER company in the world. Then they set the goal of becoming the 3-rd largest by the year 2000. This is no accident... the servers, the server storage units (especially the upcoming Fibre offering), the workstations, and I'll even throw in portables (since they've cleaned up their act) is where CPQ makes the big bucks! I trust CPQ mgmt to have a plan with sub $1000 PCs (probably just to eliminate the no-names), but the Enterprise is where CPQ is gonna clean up and make us long timers rich! biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com P.S. Can I interest anyone in a $28,000 tape drive for their servers? If you're interested, Compaq's got a nifty one for you in the second press release (probably yields about $14,000 profit if ya know what I mean, Vern)....!
