Front Page Newspaper Coverage for CPQ...

Thread:- "Sheikh Aitch of the Desert Patrol" Reporting...

FWIW, Compaq got a huge amount of coverage in the UAE papers today.

Yesterday (29/12) General His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum officially opened the new Compaq Regional Headquarters in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, about 30km South of Dubai City in the United Arab Emirates.

This is akin to having "BJ" Clinton, HRH Queen Elizabeth II or Tony Blair opening a Compaq office. Very prestigous...

I scanned some of the pictures and articles and posted them on the internet including the poor English (if you're interested, that is):
