where are you getting the 3 billion figure from? I thought it was more like 1 billion over the next 3 years, and none of it has to be in the current quarter. I think on the CC they said that none of it would be realized anytime soon.

Having some experience with volume purchase agreements like the Compaq/DEC/CS agreement, I want to note that Compaq can probably end the purchase requirement by paying some sort of penalty. The exit costs would not be $3 billion.

I believe that many take the $3 billion purchase agreement with a grain of salt.

Just an observation. I am long CS having entered at 12 & 1/4.
