Mohan: <<NEC introduces 128 MB SDRAM chips! Um um ummmmm.>> At 10000 yen, costs $77 US, sounds very cheap, discouraging to TXN even at last years memory prices << As for CPQ buying back shares, well they had to do something to prop up the shares >>> Yes, it looks like merely a symbolic buyback program CPQ - 100 mil of 1,560 mil shares= @ 6.6% Dell had a buy back of 125 mil, of 360 mil shs, or @33% ( very rough figures) Per Feb yr end report cpq has $6.4 bil cash, up from $3.0 bil in 1996 . Sounds like a lot, except for debt of $5.0 bil and a desire to buy DEC. Easy come, easy go. Sig
