RE: <<PC server shipments fell 11% in the first quarter from the fourth quarter of 1997. Both Compaq and IBM lost market share, forcing them to cut prices to stimulate demand, according to researcher International Data Corp>> Whoa there. Are you sure Compaq lost market share? I don't have the figures in front of me, but I distinctly remember Compaq gaining a lot of market share, precisely because they discounted their PC steeply. The way I remember it, they took a big loss to margins and profits but gained market share (up to 17% I think, but I'll check on that). Logos
