Steve....It seems to me that DELL could be (and let me stress could be) the better play in 1998 but '99, 2000 and beyond I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility CPQ could be leading the way in ALL categories.........George

hpeace,
Re -- with your logic I most think cpq is 10 times the better investment...

No, your cost basis is likely so low on these, that selling them will incurr huge amounts of taxes. That's why you can't sell them. However you chose to buy DELL instead of compaq. That says it all.
