Both Dell and CPQ do a lot of options trading to allow repurchase at reasonable rates. This strategy also allows the decision to buy to be made independent of the stock price which gives management more flexibility to time the purchase in relation to factors other than the current price. Dell has been a little less aggressive about this in the last qtr. Lots of detail on this on the dell thread.
