earlie, I think you are late... I've been through this situation several times where currency strengthened... it only ended up helping dell and cpq... go read some history books.. also, I think cpq does only trading in dollars in almost all those countries except japan and they hedge that currency.. right now we are at the exact same place with the weakness of the yen we were in Jan. to Apr. and it shot up then too... Just ended up casuing margins for cpq to increase with lower cost on many parts. please just chart this and see if I'm not right. pacific.commerce.ubc.ca we have had this battle before you and I.... about cpq...you have been wrong every time since you started talking about something you have zero experince at... I'm refering to your knowledge of pc industry only... i'm sure if I started talking about bond flips or some of that junk you would have me at the same advantage.... so, I don't talk about that stuff.
