Just on my mind. What is it with that CPQ commercial showing the man all interested in his hard drive, the son put forward as a budding rocket computer scientist and the mom....well, sitting inert in front of the computer supposedly reading e-mail--keeping in touch they call it. She doesn't even have her hands on the computer. Ok, I find the commercial to be offensive. I feel better now. Later. Sueponine.

50MA is making a U-turn. It does not look good to me. We may test $38 support today. Good luck!

Shawn - from the DELL thread... CPQ still about the same as the next 2 combined, and more than 3 times DELL's numbers, even in a weak quarter. I don't think we need to be concerned about CPQ's ability to maintain server dominance. BTW you will see that according to mohan, DELL servers top out at $30,000. CPQ sells several server configurations which start out at more than $100,000 and run into the millions when fully loaded...

That's because its servers top out at about $30,000. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Top five by shipments Compaq 190,013 IBM 109,601 Hewlett-Packard 102,768 Dell 63,580 Sun 36,824 Source: International Data Corp.
