>> It was not my intention to "pin" A first for SI <ggg>. Don't explain. The pin comment was just banter. A lot more comments deserve pinning anyhow, IMO. >> Please check my assumptions on the following calculations: CPQ post-split shares outstanding is 1.51 B, was 750 M pre split. Currently authorized shares are 3.0 B (that's what we voted on to allow the split to go forward). This approximately doubles your per share amounts (use 1.65 B as the starting point, not 3.0). I forget the Tandem figure. 44 M seems high to me--I seem to remember in the 20-30 M range, but the memory she ain't what she used to be. Anyhow, it was a lot less than Tandem's retained cash at the time, and that was a cashless deal otherwise. Hardly the case here, where CPQ starts out cash in the hole. DEC charges have just GOT to run a lot higher - Tandem was 7000 employees and virtually no layoffs. Regards, Spots
