I liked the report that CPQ is cutting most of the 17,000 surplus jobs after the DEC merger, this quarter

Has CPQ already written off the cost of this? It's going to be in the billions. As I recall when DEC laid off the first 60,000+ they usually took the charge in the quarter before they actually happened. Has Compaq done the same thing?
