In my point of view, it was a normal move, it send signals to everybody including investors that the merger talk is serious.

I think that in tomorrow we will see the stock higher. On almost all restructuration (job cuts...) push stocks higher.

In a way I am not a fan of layoffs and I don't think it's always a wise move but as a tiny investors, I hope that all those moves will help CPQ stock to get better.

BTW, in your opinion could we see another player on that merger game. Bidding for DEC or bidding for CPQ and DEC?? It could be interesting. Remember MCI, BT, GTE and WCOM

Leebo...DEC cut back in spending is hitting at the fringes, e.g. no cellular calls except by salesmen. What this is, is a shot across the bow of dead weight. Believe me, you don't want "slag" in your rivets as was suggested earlier because it only makes the bond weaker. Letting the slag know it is not going to be business as usual will give the opportunity to get off the boat before they get pushed. A little less balast perhaps?
