This is not a fair comparison. Compaq OEM's out all of its sub-1000 PC's. Revenue with NO employees.

Rudedog, I simply don't know what the fuss is all about. I had thought that Compaq had greater earnings per employee than Dell. But Sig (I believe) posted a reference that indicated that Dell's ratio now exceeded Compaq's. Perhaps it is due to a timing difference (i.e. using the most recent quarterly data rather than annual data). In any event I am glad that we agree that it's irrelevant to any meaningful discussions of these companies. TTFN, CTC
