Somewhat O.T. Is anyone else getting tired of Maria Bartiromo ignoring CPQ in her morning pre-market reports? For the second morning in a row she mentioned skeighty-eight million tech stocks that all are showing up trends pre-market and did not mention Compaq. We all know it opened up yesterday and I'm sure it will today if other techs are. What is her problem with CPQ? Russ

Off Topic! David, <<Shawn, Best post I have read on SI over the last two years. Thanks >> Your very welcome! I would rather keep the discussion of this thread on Compaq and its potential as a stock.., but one can only listen to so many big mouth liberals defending the many, many illegal actions of Bill Clinton, as nothing more than infidelity...! It did have one side benefit though, as Bill Clinton's defenders are usually either government employees (taxpayer supported) or liberal college professors that will do anything to maintain their status quo...and since they know nothing about making a living in the private sector...you can take their opinion on any stock with a grain of salt :) Take care, Shawn ON TOPIC! That article on Yahoo about Compaq being approached about selling Alta Vista, and Compaq indicating that they have their own big plans for the search engine and that they already have direct access buttons on their computers is going to make this stock hot...I wonder if anyone can find out how soon Compaq is going to capitalize on this newly acquired and very hot asset??Did DEC get any substantial licensing revenue or user fees from the sites that use Alta Vista...they certainly can make some very substantial revenues from advertising at the site (like Yahoo has done at its' site)...now that they have acquired the domain: www.Alta-vista.com..as for big money advertising.. .it all comes down to how many million hits per day a site gets and who the audience is... and Alta Vista is the best search engine for serious research, so in my opinion it attracts the highest caliber audience!
