We are in 100% agreement. Again, thanks for your response. IMO, when this deal is reviewed by the street's analysts, I think they are going to like it. We should see CPQ's stock start to climb again. I tend to believe that CPQ's stock, plus the 30 dollars per share will be worth more than 60 dollars when the deal closes. Just my thoughts. Stock Bull

David ate Goliath for breakfast ... This acquisition caught most off guard. It is very impressive. This won't be a seamless merger. They have many competing product lines. Basically they are combining their turf so they are not competing against each other. They won't need as many people to operate the new entity. The workforce will likely get trimmed within the year. The new CPQ should make things interesting in the PC marketplace. In PC sales, CPQ/DEC is nipping at the heals of HP. IBM #1, HP #2, and CPQ/DEC is a close #3. CNNfn had coverage of this. I wonder what Dell thinks of all this. Tony.
