consider this: at the rate prices of computers and components are going (PC's, DRAMS, Hard Drives, etc.)in ten years you will be able to buy them either through Borders or Amazon.com... yep, as if they were books! I wonder if in their long term planning any of these computer makers are re-doing their economic models as if they were book publishers... the silver lining to all this is that there wont be much of a market for Network PC's.

Try dead for 1 to 3 years. Just like in 1991. For those rocket scientists who think that it is inappropriate to compare 1991 to now - they need a wake up call. It is what the fund managers and big money movers think that is important. Their beliefs and thoughts are what counts! If they say now is like 1991 then guess what - now is like 1991. It is so because they say so. Forget reality. The price of the stock is a function of demand. Take away the demand (which for the most part comes from the fund managers) and the stock goes in the toilette. Since demand comes from the fund managers what they say is the truth. You can argue that the fund managers and analysts are dumb till hell freezes over - the bottom line is money talks. If all the fund managers are evaluating the "earth fund" and say the earth is flat then the earth is - you guessed it - flat. Why? Because no-one else is left that can afford to send ships to find the edge, if there is one. Money rules Folks!! And the guys with the money say cpq is shit. And when they say it is shit - it is indeed shit!! Whether you like or not. You can bang your head against a wall but you're not going to change the opinion of the fund managers and analysts. They have decreed that cpq is garbage and to be shunned at all cost. Therefore it is so. When will the cpq stock price gods speak and say cpq should be worth more?? Your guess is as good as any. Right now the cpq stock price gods are saying that 1991 is here again and 1994 is at least three years away.
