>>"cpq's real mistake has not been revealed"!<<

Compaq's REAL mistake was coming out with the under $1,000 PC.

I'll bet they had no idea how much market share it would steal from the higher priced (high profit) PC's.

Now the <$1,000 PC is <$700 and going lower every month.

In two years PCs will be like telephones....... one in every room.
