If that's the benchmark then God help IBM. One of the PCs here is an Aptiva. Still in warranty, we called for service in January. Four defective motherboards later I am still waiting for the repair to be complete. Tomorrow another arrives....we'll see. Using your logic, I expect IBM to be in the low 20s this q as well<g>....

Probably Apple, but just goes to show you how something can move when things change (so far only rumor with Apple)...

My boy friend Franky M says "CPQ will be trading at a PE of 30

in this market" this puts us around $35.00 per share.

During the past year he has made perfect calls on DLGC and

Franklin Telephone, I have a nice little BMW because of

him. I will be keeping Franky happy.

GO CPQ

Ron, I had a huge amount of trouble with Compaq and InCOMPetent USA when my Presarion went down last October. However, as much as they were lousy then, Compaq has improved a lot since the start of the year. I guess they got sick of always being rated lousy in service. However, I can't say the same for InCOMPetent USA and now take my business to another dealer. MB
