Larry, I wish there were significance in the 1/20 day vis-a-vis CPQ, but none that I can think of. The CPQ split is on 1/20, but the record date is 12/31 (per the sec filing anyway). Still, I'm sticking by CPQ as a potential buyer of ASND, if only given Lutz's statement that ASND is a dominant player in the same market in which he wants CPQ to dominate. And CPQ wants 50B sales by 2000. Happy New Year! Gary Korn
