Jim,

re: "Now that CPQ is not making $$, They don't care". Is one to assume that CPQ is just going to throw in the towel? To heck with making money?

I can agree that as we can see, CPQ will have to dump those computers into the market place. Have they been already? YES. It wasn't like they woke up yesterday and checked the numbers!

As a tech holding, a fund manager will have to decide which one he wants to keep. If I was inclined to hold either DELL, CPQ, GTW or any of the others, DELL would be the one.

At what point would you buy CPQ? I followed this same argument with ORCL when it was in the teens, almost 50% ago!!!

Is buying any company with a trace of computer development not worth holding? Will DELL's growth and earnings drop to 15% per annum? When market psychology gets this low, it's time to buy, at least in the short term!

JP,

I have a P-166, and some of the 'new' stuff is kind of 'jerky' on the p-166, but the MMX is A-OK! You get an MMX with a good AGP card, and the video is 'breathtaking'! (I am using the All-In-Wonder card with Rage III technology, and it is pretty good, but.....)

IMO,

Ken
