CPQ has had a great presence in China for quite a few years now (I saw a lot of COMPAQ ads when I was there 3 yrs ago) and as I remember there was some news 'recently' about CPQ in China .. this should be some hope for the present and future biz.yahoo.com Michael

Here's a post off the Dell thread that you might get a chuckle from: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To: chuckie (69436 ) From: AL T Monday, Oct 5 1998 11:01PM ET Reply # of 69451 chuckie, What about CPQ price??? If DELL will go to the low 40's, what price for CPQ $8 ????

That would give a close to 40B in sales company a market cap of about 7.5B. Dell could then buy them for a song and pretty much lock up the PC and server market. Since CPQ will have 5B in cash on hand, Dell could be generous by offering 10B for the company, and it would end up costing them only 5B! Just think of the squeeze Mikey could then put on Intel!! Awesome!!!
