Typically the main complaint of stockholders of a first-class company such as cpq is "everybody else is going up, why isn't mine?" The computer industry history is filled with massive disappointments once companies get large and so some worry is justified. Does Compaq grow at 20% rate or will it's sales be relatively flat in the years to come (as it has for DEC and IBM in recent years). Different answers give wildly different stock price fair values, hence the volatility. Greg

I believe the release of the latest Windows OS is playing a larger part in this PC slowdown than anyone is realizing and I am suprised it hasn't seen more discussion. I've been wondering if there was a similar slowdown in PC sales prior to the release of Windows 95. Maybe someone on this thread could shed some light on this? TIA Nicholas
