Scumbria, Re:- "That is exactly the philosophy which Compaq maintained during the period 1991-1992, when their stock dropped by 75%. When Eckhardt Pfeiffer took over, he switched emphasis to low cost computers. Since that time, CPQ has gone up almost 100X " Question: Do you ever check your facts before blabbering? I the last 7 years CPQ has only increased by 1670%. So instead of the almost 100X figure it is in reality almost 17.7X. A figure of 100X vs a figure of 18X is almost the same? Close enough for government work. humble carl
